Attempting to move version 4 or 5 client to a new system.

Q: Is there a way to re-enter a license on a computer, or to remove one that was already entered?

A: Yes; use the REGISTER command line parameter.

After using this parameter, you can either enter a new license to set the one for that computer, or you can leave it blank to remove the license so that it can be used on a different PC. After changing any license keys for any Clients, restart the server so that it will refresh which licenses it will allow to connect.

I attempted to do this so I could move my SageTV Client from my old notebook to my new one and the old one will not let me enter a blank. It just says "invalid license, re-enter license" in an infiinte loop. So how DOES one actually accomplish moving the license/client (version 4 or 5) to a new system?

I'm pretty sure you can just stop using it on the old laptop. Is there any problem when you attempt to use the license key on the new laptop?

As suggested above, just hit cancel & don't do anything else on the old client. Install the key on the new client. I was going to say that you'll have to restart the SageTV server, but I noticed that was already said in the quoted FAQ...
