md2b78's post in USB Replacement - Can't Install Connect plugin was marked as the answerUPDATE: Problem Solved (but not the underlying issue).
Primer on my issue: My USB Key failed and I needed to create a new one and request a replacement key. But I couldn't get a stable version of the most recent unraid build to start on the server, so I replaced the USB key with an earlier version of UnRaid from June 2023 (IIRC).
Using this USB Key rebuild and an older UnRaid build, I was able to get the server started. But I could not download/install UnRaid Connect to request a replacement key and the other workarounds I found on the forums weren't working, either.
Cut to today, the UnrRaid GUI gaveme the option of updating to the most recent software build. Once that was installed, I was able to install Connect. And from there, request an updated replacement key, which worked immediately and flawlessly.
The question remains why my USB Key build using the latest software wouldn't work. It would load to the "Starting up UnRaid automatically in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1," before it would repeat the countdown from 5 again, continuously. That's an issue I didn't solve.
The question also remains why you can't download/install Connect on an older version of the software.
Either way, I hope this helps someone out there with the same or similar issues.
