TwonkyMedia Manager vs. Server Product Confusion

Hello from a former PV-er!

I'm having a little difficulty understanding your product line. When I first "discovered" you, I purchased TwonkyMedia Server. A few days later, I discovered TwonkyMedia Manager and assumed that it was an upgrade/evolutionary path from the server product. (I got the impression that the server-only product would be discontinued.) Now I see you're releasing betas of TwonkyMedia Server. While I know that TwonkyMedia Manager *includes* the server, I'm not sure what that means in terms of me wanting to give the new server beta a try. Can I do that or do I have to remove the manager first? What is the relationship between the two packages?

Great product, by the way!

Thanks,
Mark

You can use a TMM Licence key for TMS.

TMS is a subset of TMM functionality (only the server part)

You should uninstall TMM before install TMS.
