Transferring License Keys

[dibs]

I should be getting my extender tomorrow, but I did not get the Media Center license combo with it. I wanted to run the trial version of sage on my laptop and fool with it before i get my server all set for my HD-PVR. However, my trial has expired.

The thing is, my laptop has Vista, but the server I am getting is going to have WHS on it. So I have 2 questions:

1) Can I just unregister Sage on my laptop, and then register it back to the Server using the same key if I decide to buy the License. Which leads me to my next question:

2) I noticed that there is no software for WHS specifically. Do I just purchase the Windows 6.3, and it has the files necessary to work with WHS. That way, when I do transfer the license, there won't be any issue going from Vista to WHS?

Thank you!

The WHS version and 'normal' Sage for Windows use the same keys - just install the WHS version if you are using WHS. I've never 'unregistered' before, but I've moved from a normal Sage to WHS with no troubles.

HTH,

BTW: the download page lists the version for WHS & the beta topic also has a separate WHS version.

Ok, thanks. But does that mean I can install it on my laptop and fool with my extender before I get my Server and transfer it over to the server afterwards? In the trial, there was an unregister .exe they gave. If I do that, can I use my key to install to a different machine? I take it by your above post that I can install either the WHS version or the Windows version with the same key.

Thanks again

You will be able to uninstall it from one PC and then install it on a different one.
