Hi, Ok, I hope I explain this clearly and that someone can help me with some solutions.
I currently have an ancient unRaid server with a basic license (but it's still working after about a decade!).
I am building a NEW unRaid server and rather than migrate the old drives from the older server, I plan to copy the data from old server to new server via network. Slow, yes, but it will guarantee parity integrity throughout the process and I will be retiring the old server's drives after the process.
I currently have a Basic unRaid license on the old server, but will want to upgrade this to a Plus license on the new server.
Here's the Q: how can I accomplish this without purchasing an additional redundant license for the new server? If possible, I want to migrate the old license to the new server and upgrade it BUT - the rub is that for me to copy data over, I need both servers running unRaid (at least for a short while).
I thought of using a Trial license on the new server until everything copies over, but is it then possible to migrate (use) the old license on the new server when I'm ready? (replace the trial license on the new server with the basic license from the old server and then pay to upgrade it to Plus)
Ok, that was wordy, but I'm hoping to be as detailed and clear as possible.
Thanks for reading!!
Cheers,
J
