You cannot use a Hobbit client with a BB server - whether it is BB Pro or the "better-than-free" version.
Henrik, what does that mean exactly? Is it not supported, is it not supposed to work, or what?
It means "will not work" and hence "not supported".
I'm asking because we (Mattias and I work for the same company) use Hobbit clients successfully with BB servers. It Seems To Work [tm] if it is purposely configured for that.
Your custom tests - the "extension scripts" - that run on the client will work, because they send results using the old BB-compatible "status" protocol.
The basic client data - those that end up in the "cpu", "disk", "msgs" and "procs" columns - will not work without a Hobbit server to interpret the data. The Hobbit client doesn't report these data in a form that the BB server understands.

We have a whole bunch of BB servers and clients which will eventually be migrated to Hobbit, but that will take some time and it would be a shame if we had to keep installing BB clients until all the servers have been replaced.
