If so, it opens up more possibilities for people to buy second hand HD Native hardware and use it with an existing non-HD license, if they don't need the extra software features.

For me sounds more like an unexpected feature, because normally you can't buy the HD Native card without one I/O and software.

Right, but this might make it easier for someone looking for used stuff on Ebay, for example buying a HDN card only, and an HD interface, and then getting a regular Protools license transferred from someone. Personally, I'd rather have the full HD software features, though.

Following other threads. Running in to THE SAME problem. It looks like physically MOVING the card to a different slot is what it takes. Ran the Native Card Flasher again (after moving the card) and now it worked.

Still an unsupported configuration...
