be EXTREMELY careful if you upgrade to version 5.x of sbclient.
The software does work much better than 4.x but the upgrade routine has
one major hangup.
If you upgrade to version 5 and keep the same serial number, when you
launch one version5 client the licence details will ripple around the
network to all your version 4 clients (as version4 clients also do.).
However the licence details in 5 are not compatible with the licence
details in 4 and ALL your version4 clients will complain that the
licence details are invalid and stop working.  A great DOS on your
network and not nice to find out at 4.30pm when you are already late
getting out of a client site!
The workaround is to get a NEW serial number for version 5. If you've
already hit the problem then get a new version 5 number and on the
version 4 clients delete the hklm\software\unidata\sbclient tree from
regedit, and then relicence with the original number. We found that this
involved a visit and relicence of ALL version4 machines :-(

I am currently running SBClient 4.5.3 (Build 84) on Windows XP Pro O/S 
(but the problem seems to be the same on all 32bit Platforms). 

Thanks in advance anyone who can help.
