How will the forum linked registration process work for unRAID systems that have no internet access?

[IMTheNachoMan]

We're thinking of running some unRAID servers in our LAN and they wouldn't have any internet access -- in or out. With our network configuration we wouldn't even be able to give them internet access through an exception or anything. 

 

How will registering new unRAID servers work with the forum registration process? No forum login will work since there is no internet access.

All offline licensing will need to be handled by emailing Limetech.

There is also the possibility of plugging the Unraid flash drive into any machine that DOES have internet access and booting off it to get the licence installed (simply booting Unraid will not affect anything else on that machine).  Since the licence travels with the flash drive you can now plug the flash drive into the machine that has no internet access as once the licence is installed internet access is no longer required.

Can't. Long story. Security issue. Basically, once USB stick is plugged into a machine, it can't be used on another machine and then back on the first machine. Requirement  by security team.

Then maybe try to contact Limetech.

Thanks all! I just wanted to make sure we have a path forward when we add new servers.
