So I have built a new machine and am preparing my old unraid box for my brother. In part of this process, I wanted to redo the unraid install on the old machine's flash drive to hopefully get some networking and other issues fixed. So I used the unraid disk creation tool and pointed it at the USB drive, and copied the old "basic.key" file to it afterwords. Now If I boot up it takes me to the registration page as if there isn't any key files on the drive! now I did make a image of the drive (thank god) before nuking the drive in case something like this happened, but as I mentioned before, there is issues with that instance. It both keeps loosing its ip address and docker containers have stopped working entirely, it just stalls if I try to do anything about it. So I'd rather just keep it fresh with the old key. any ideas?

UPDATE: I just looked and I still have the old email for this key

that email did the trick, nevermind!
