Can I use my sct hand held on other cars?

Like a 2001 focus?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm thought I heard something about them being locked to one car.

They are locked to upload tunes.

They can be unlocked by SCT for a fee

They can be used to read codes on any compatible cars IIRC.

you can use them on one car at a time.. each time you swap it out to another car you use up a "use"..you get 5 uses when they are new.. as long as you return the previous car back to stock you can move on to the next "use".. you don't return the previous car to stock its locked and needs to go back to sct or i believe a dealer can unlock it for a fee of around 150..
mind you this is just for tunes.. pulling codes and datalogging they will work on any car at any time..
