SageTV Client will not accept my Name/Key pair

So I have had SageTV since 2004 and bought an upgrade key in 2007 when v6 came out. I use to run SageTV client and server on the same box until I bought an HD200 and now use the HD200 as my main client and have SageTV running just as a server using windows service.

That all works great. So I decided that since the SageTV license I thought provided me with the ability to run a server and 1 client and that the client could be on or off the machine running the server. I would install SageTVClient on a different computer to connect to my SageTV server. It works EXCEPT for some reason SageTVClient will not accept my Name/Key pair that I got for v6.

I sent a support ticket but have not heard back yet, and figured I was probably missing something simple that someone else here has solved.

Do you actually have 2 licenses: 1 for SageTV (the server) and 1 for SageTV Client, or do you have 1 server license? (You can run the service and client UI on the server using just a single server license, so there wasn't a need for a client license to run the UI on the server.) If you do have 2 separate server & client licenses, are you trying to use the original or upgrade server license for your client?

I only have the one license. I thought I could run the server part on one machine and client on a different machine. Maybe I was wrong on that thought.

One license is for one PC. The single server license allows the UI to run on the server. A client on another PC requires another license.

BTW: since you said you contacted support, I suggest contacting them again to let them know it is resolved.
