bptillman Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I purchased a new flash drive to replace the one in my system, and followed the steps outlined here but when I got to to the step on the Flash drive page to Replace the key, there is no Replace Key button present as you can see in the attached image? This is my first time to ever try and replace the flash drive so I am not sure why I am not given the option to replace it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Solution bptillman Posted August 12, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted August 12, 2023 Got this solved on my own. I noticed the attached warning in the top right of the screen, and when I looked in the content of the flash drive, there was a basic, trial, and plus key files. I assume all three were in there since I started with a trial, then moved to basic and eventually plus. Once I removed the trial and basic key files then I was able to replace the flash drive without issue. Hope this helps anyone else that might have run into this issue. 1 Quote Link to comment

There is definitely a bug in the license validation / lifecycle management. (files presumably are leftovers from years of license upgrades, however this only became a issue now, presumably due to either a keyfile counter > 3 , last replacement during Plus had no issues) Ticket opened with support.
