Return to stock before replacing FICM??

I got my 58V FICM from Swamps yesterday. The question is, do I need to go back to stock before I put it in? I have 1 unlock left and would like not to use it, but I will if needed. Thanks.

It should tell you in the liveload software.

No need to return to stock to install an FICM

Where do you look in the LiveLink Software for the Unlocks?
Thanks.

I purchased the livewire used, with the IDP tunes already on it. Lucky that they worked on my truck, but I do loose unlocks when I return to stock. I need to send it to SCT and have them clear it and refresh the unlocks.
