First of all, the CT software is NOT for sale by the engine maker. - They do not supply it to anyone, not even the OEM truck stealers$its.

This means that any place you find it for sale, it has been ehemm... "gotten", and cracked by someone illegitimately.

I have heard of people paying like $50 bucks or so to have someone install it for them, simply because it is not the easiest thing to find working copies on the www yourself, etc... but not typically for the amount you have mentioned.

so... yeah, I would say you had gotten taken for a bit of a ride, unless they remoted in to your PC + went out of their own way to install it properly, etc. .. and helped you legitimately + gave you all the support files for your engine ,etc.

I can't blame fault on someone for wanting a few bucks to take the time to install something on someone else's computer, and deal with all the headaches of making it work too. they would be providing a service (and not just simply a copy if a pi$rated sw) afterall ... but ...

You said you have not received anything. SO this really sounds like that you got taken, if you got nothing in return.

Sounds like something that one of those crooks off those auto-tuning wwwsites would do. Those engine sw and tuning sites are places that are filled with crooks, impersonators, narcissists, bad delete files galore, and all kinds of other shady type of folks that are trying to get $$$ out of anyone who comes along and don't know any better.

BTW: There is no legitimate way to obtain working copies of that CT sftwre, .. but at the same note, it is on the www in various shady places, usually for free if someone looks hard enough for it. The older version 3.17 (from 2017) is actually quite a bit better than the version you mention by the way... and can still be updated with the latest engine support, thus far any ways.

The unfortunate side of things is that insite and CT are BOTH very necessary tools to have, for both repair shops so that they can troubleshoot, back up/restore people's engine files properly, and for truck owners who work on their own equipment, and to have, especially if they have any kind of custom programming done (delete, etc) at all, for the same reasons.

I mostly blame the red engine maker for putting truck owners in that situation, where they need to have illegitimate softwa#reze just to keep their truck on the roads to begin with. If you ask me, they should supply the damn troubleshooting sw for free with every engine sold, just to compensate for the horribly designed after-garbage systems and under-trained OEM facilities that people in commercial trucking have to put up with.
