HyperServer Lite and HistoricalPlugIn from HyperTrader together.. why not?

I have been using HyperServer Lite for over a couple of month now and been
very happy with it. As I primarily trade futures, I track very limited set
of symbols, and HSL has always been more than sufficient. I recently decided
to trade a portion of my account on Stocks, using daily chart. So I went
looking at HyperTrader's site, and found "Historical Plugin for yahoo".
Great! But it is for "Non HyperServer Lite users" Why? What's the problem?

To test this, I have setup GS + TS2ki on another machine.
* Setup GS with BMI feed (I don't have BMI). I did this because HyperTrader
site told me I can't use this Historical Plugin thingie with HSL.
* Use HQuotes Pro to setup a list of 1500+ stocks and get all the daily data
from yahoo. Then use HyperTools to create a humongous .xpo file. This step
saves me from having to manually setup 1500+ symbols in GS, as when I import
the .xpo to GS, all the symbols are automagically created. And it's very
easy to setup 1500+ (or more) symbols in HQuotes.
* Now I have GS setup with BMI feed, which I don't have and 1500+ symbols of
stock with all the history I could ever ask for.. some more than 30 years.
Great!
* I rerun GS setup wizard yesterday nite, and changed the feed to HSL,
keeping the stock data. Today AM, I take GS online and start collecting
intraday data on some of the symbols.

What's the problem here, if any? Why HyperTrader says I can't use HSL &
Historical Plugin for yahoo at the same time? Would my GS database get
corrupted? Would my box suddenly burst into flames? 8 )

Anyone in the list is using similar setup? Any comments from HyperServer
folks? (I know they read this list).

Thanks much!
