Unhappy License Confusion
I bought a SageTV HD Theater with SageTV Media Center for Windows software bundle back in December and was so impressed I bought another 3 SageTV HD Theaters for other rooms.

I am now confused over licensing though.

I've just setup the additional extenders and have a '15day trial' logo plastered all over the screen.

Did I misunderstand the licensing? Should I be able to connect all four extenders to one server with the license? Or do I need 4 license keys?

Confused!!

I guess I would have thought twice about buying the other three if I realised they needed licenses as well!!

Any advice appreciated as the manuals and faq's are a bit wooly.

First, make sure you have the SageTV 6.5 national release installed on your server. If you do, you should then contact Sage support because each HD-200 comes with it's own license.

and make sure that your server machine has the license key applied properly.

I have SageTV_V6_4_8 installed on my WHS. Should I contact support? I'm not sure as to the significance of your reply. Was there a bug?

My WHS console shows the following, 2 licenses correctly installed? Is this what you'd expect?

I'm going to try another HD200 and see how that gets on. Any other ideas?

SageTV 6.5 supports the HD-200s license automatically. 6.4 requires a seperate license.

Uninstall the 6.4.8 add-in from WHS via the console, reboot, then install the 6.5.9 add-in via the console. No, the upgrade is free.
