becose Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Forgive me if this has been posted before. I received the following message - Unable to purchase key for this GUID GUID, , may already have a key or it has been blacklisted Is there something I can do to activate my unRaid Server with my current key? Very Appreciative, T.Bennett Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Your current flash drive should already have its registered key in the config folder. Did you wipe it? Do you have a flash backup? 1 Quote Link to comment
becose Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I wiped it clean and I do have a back up as well. Thanks for quick response. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Why do you think you want a clean install anyway? Unraid is already a "clean install" at each boot. The OS is unpacked fresh from archives on flash, into RAM, at each boot, and it runs completely in RAM. Think of it as firmware. These OS archives on flash are never changed by anything you do with your server, except they are replaced when a new release is installed. All of your configuration (settings from the webUI including disk assignments) are stored in the config folder of flash so they can be reapplied at boot. 1 Quote Link to comment
becose Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I messed up my cache pools and Fix Problems kept reporting the data is in the other pool, change it back or move files with Dynamix. Since I only had the server up and running for less than week with no data as I learn to use it as my NAS and maybe Plex Server later. I figured I'd simply start over. My configuration: ASUS 97m-E w/i7-4770 with 32 GB non-ECC and 16TB of storage with two SSDs one being an nvme. Quote Link to comment

becose Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 So should I just restore from the flash backup and ask you to graciously assist me? Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted January 30 Solution Share Posted January 30 If you really want to start clean you could just restore the key file from the config folder in the backup to the config folder on the flash drive. Quote Link to comment
becose Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 Thanks all this has all been very helpful. I'm back up. Quote Link to comment
