It is used to generate the FSC code to get the car to accept map updates.

The vehicle must already have a working CIC or NBT with prior navigation maps.
I'm not sure this is 100% correct. I upgraded my maps to 2018, getting an FSC code with this generator some months ago. A few weeks ago I replaced my CIC with a used one from another car, with my hard disk installed. Yesterday I received and installed an emulator to get my maps working, and had to enter an FSC code to allow nav to work. I generated the new FSC code with this generator, and it worked.
Did you use the 1b file download to get the program to generate the code?

Or did you type in your vin?

If the latter you were lucky. Only a limited range of vehicles work via VIN due to the small sampling.

The former should not work as the code will not match your car.
