Lars is telling you the "real deal" here, but I sense you are not really familiar with programmers. If you are, then, sorry, I don't mean to "talk down" to you.
You bought an Edge used. The previous owner had to return the tune on his truck to "stock" (Level 0) before he shipped it to you or the programmer will not work on any other vehicle - period. This is one of the hazards you assume when you buy a used programmer - and it applies to all of them, not just the Edge.
Now, for a nominal fee, Edge and PHP can "unlock" such a programmer so that it can work on your vehicle. This simply adds to your purchase cost.
But, you may not need this. When you plugged the Edge into your truck, WITH THE IGNITION ALREADY ON, did you see the "hex" code? If you didn't, you probably have a locked programmer. If you did, unplug it and plug it in again so that you can write it down (the ignition has to be ON).
If the Edge tells you your HEX code, you will be able to program in any of the canned tunes it contains. You should really have an Edge manual to refer to, but a Gryphon manual will do as well. You can get it here:

But: Remember to set your "tune" back to Level 0 (stock) before you send the Edge in for conversion! The custom tunes will be even better than the canned tunes.
Hope this is making sense to you. Welcome to the world of programmers!
