TwonkyMedia Server 5.1 for WHS Available
TwonkyMedia Server 5.1 has been released mainly to improve performance issues and is also now Windows 7 compliant, but the best news is that there is now a version specially for us Windows Home Server users.
Owners of the HP and Fujitsu WHS retail boxes have had a copy of TwonkyMedia Server as part of the install process and now the rest of us can purchase a copy too.
TwonkyMedia Server is available for $29.95 or €19.95.
You can download the msi installation file here, which you should place into your add-ins directory.

Is version 5.1 newer than what came with the HP MSS EX485? If so, can I download 5.1 and install over the older version and still retain my license?
I have the same question as Douglas. Because I already have a HP ex485 does this entitle me to install 5.1 upgrade for free?
^^ I have the very same question…. I’m going to try it tonight and see what happens.
I went ahead and tried installing 5.1 but it didn’t just upgrade the version that HP had installed. Instead it uninstalled and installed the new version and instantly my “trial version has expired”
I wouldn’t recommend doing this unless you know of another work around or you are planning on buying 5.1.
Good luck.
works for me,
1st uninstall old versionand remove from add-in folder
2nd place new version in add in folder and run
3rd grab a beer
load control panel wala there it is, no trial or any problems
as a side note i am using the EX470 with 1.8 cpu upgrade and 2 GB ram upgrade and never 1 problem
except that i ant the new HP GUI upgrade 2.5 opps i mean i want the HP GUI upgrade for the 495 on my 470,
opps my cpu is a 2.6 orleans upgrade
Welchwerks,
I followed your directions but I still require a registration key. Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade twonky 5.1 for free on my ex485 or do I need to pay?
Thanks
