Confused about licenses
I am not using MVP or Placeshifter (yet), but from various posts in the forums I had the impression that both use the same kind of license, so if I buy a license I can use it for MVP and Placeshifter (of course not at the same time). Is this still true ?
If so, then I don't understand why there are both a "Placeshifter Connection License" and a "Client License for MVP" offered as separate products in the Sage Online Store. Is this one and the same, just sold under different names ? Just curious ... Thanks, Dirk |

I thought them to be the same as well. I bought an MVP license when they were first released, and it works just fine as a Placeshifter license.
Perhaps the different part numbers are to track the demand for each type? |

They are interchangeable, since that is the way it was explained to me for coverage in the manual & has been stated around here before.
Why are they listed separately? I don't know, but the idea of tracking the purpose of the sale sounds feasible. - Andy

I think it might be a good idea to at least mention this fact somewhere on the product page, since it is a good selling point and not all potential customers will visit the forum or read the the corresponding section in the manual ... Dirk |

You're absolutely right....I bought the placeshifter licence, and I saw no mention that it was the same as the mvp licence; of course I knew better. It's a good selling point, but they don't seem to make it clear in the store.

Placeshifter or MVP license
I was looking to get another Placeshifter/MVP license, and I noticed there were two seperate options now, one for the placeshifter and one for the MVP client. Are these licenses still allow both to be used? I have one license now that allows me to use placeshifter or MVP.

I merged your question here, since it is covered above -- they still function the same way.
