Extender - Purchase and License

I'm going to purchase an extender to replace one my client PC's. My question is should I buy the Sage Extender or the Hauppauge 1000? The Hauppauge is cheaper and my reason for asking? Can you convert a client license to extender license? My current licenses are from 4.0, but I see you can upgrade your licenses for 39.99. Does that include any 4.0 licenses you have as I have one server and three client licenses.

Regards,

Deliverer

The Sage Extender and the Hauppauge 1000 is the same thing. If you buy it from Sage it has their logo on it. I am using a Hauppauge I bought from pcalchemy.com, a little cheaper.

You are going to have to email Sage support about converting a license from client to extender. The upgrade fee is for server only, the clients are a free upgrade (I would double check that though) So for your setup you would only need 1 upgrade fee for your server. The clients don't need one.

Not possible IIRC. The OP will need to pay for the Extender licence.
