(Dubious?) claim by technician--ABS module & Tech 2

Hi folks,
I just returned from an attempt to have a European car autoshop use their Tech 2 to reprogram the used ABS module I bought on Ebay to my car. The used module was the same model no. as my own defunct module, but the used one was programmed for an automatic transmission--or so I think.
The technician didn't even want to hook the car up to his Tech 2 computer. He said that when when Saab went out of business, he lost access to their servers--which he needed to reprogram the ABS module.
This didn't sound right to me; I mean, people continue to need devices married to their Saabs, etc., but I wanted to get the Saabnet board's opinion. Perhaps there's a big difference between, say, marrying a used radio head unit, to a different Saab, and marrying/reprogramming an ABS unit.
What do you folks think?
I have an appointment at another place on Wed.
best wishes,
David
