August 14, 20232 yr Hello all, I've got an activation code for Basic that I bought through the website (but I have too many devices, so I'll I need to upgade that Basic code to Pro). But when I put in the activation code in the app, I get a Too Many Devices messages and the system won't let me go further. I can't upgrade via the website, only the app. The whole point was to use the 15% off Summer Sale code for Basic, then upgrade to Pro. (Unfortunately, I'm in a position where I'm always looking for a way to save a buck!) Any ideas?
August 14, 20232 yr Community Expert A quick and dirty fix is to disable the sata ports in the bios or just shutdown the server, unplug enough sata cables, fire the system back up, upgrade and then re-enable the sata ports / plug the cables back in. Alternatively, just boot the usb key on a different pc and upgrade that way Edited August 14, 20232 yr by Mainfrezzer

Bingo.
