Hello,

The difference between a HermesI and a HermesII is like the difference 
between an Intersil and a HermesI, or a horse and a mule.  Both are 
2.4Ghz radios (or farm animals...), however use a different chipset.  I 
am no expert as to the exact technical differences, other than the fact 
that the HermesII would have a superior WEP engine over the HermesI and 
that theoretically no performance decrease is to be seen when using WEP 
and a HermesII.  I am hoping to test this soon as soon as I find a 
vendor that carries such a beast.

You do not need a new license, the difference with regards to Turbocell 
is that the .bin file either supports one or the other.  License-wise it 
is the same license, just a different .bin.

Chris
