I have done nothing to the serv.bat files at all I have not edited
them nothing there at there default settings.

I have a 5.0 licence running so your right the server is running. And

Running "echo SPM_HOST" (without the quotes) at both 5.0 and 4.2 command prompt just gives me
the following
SPM
that's it.
