If you eventually plan to upgrade your gateway machine to a PPC platform, purchase the higher priced “universal” license. This will cost you less in the long run. If you already have the full universal license you may not “downgrade” to a 68k license, but your older key will continue to work on both PPC and 68k versions of IPNetRouter. If you replace a 68k machine with a PPC gateway, you can always purchase the cheaper 68k license and transfer the older PPC/68K license to the new machine for use there. The 68k machine can then be used as another router/gateway/DHCP server or sold. Keep the 68k machines in service! We hope the lower 68k only price will encourage everyone use these perfectly good machines rather then throw them in the trash.
