Does this mean that when booting unraid, that the key check now allows 45seconds for the array to come online and VM's to start. IE virtualised pfsense before the keycheck disables the system for an invalid key ?
Yup the license check is still a piece of crap. Whatever was done in this release is even worse then the previous two. Previously in 18 and 19 i could reach the unraid web gui and would be told invalid license. Now in 20 the web gui won't load at all until i get a WAN connection, this means i have to manually go patch in a router to get internet access for the license check. It is as retarded as it sounds !!
I really don't know why more focus isn't placed on resolving this rather poorly thought out license validation and wasting effort on throw away inclusions like updating firefox in the console gui who no one asked for / wants / even needs.
+1
My system refuse to validate and its the first time i ever had any interaction with LT support and they have been zero help.
Waited most of the day for them to verify it will not validat and they the took the rest of the day to tell me I need a reliable internet connection.
How did you do this ?
"manually go patch in a router to get internet access for the license check"
You are using beta software. Did you really bother support with an issue about a beta? Just stick to retail unraid. I'm sure lime-tech would rather have no feedback from you about the beta then have to listen to your complaints about a function that has been explained several times.
Do you honestly believe that the key check "function" is not a precursor for a future move into production. Honestly, LT say it's for only for BETA (maybe for this release) but don't kid yourself if you think it's not a dry run for a move for future production releases?
Yes that is what I believe.
If it makes it into a retail release, then you may have a legitimate complaint but even at that point, you are not forced to use that update.
