June 2, 20242 yr I read that I can only ask once a year for a recover of a license key in case needed. I just started my unRAID career and have not yet experience on the lifespan of the USB stick I use (KIOXA, a.k.a. Toshiba, USB 2.0). But wonder what happen if I had very bad luck hit me and I would have multiple times need for refresh ? Since the license is bound to the S/N of the USB stick a simple backup is not really helping. If only one refresh will be given how could I access my data without USB-stick based license ? (please move is this not the appropriate section of the forum)

No data is stored on the USB stick and the license does not control access to data. The only things there are the Unraid server configuration, the license key and the files needed to unpack Unraid OS into RAM each time the server boots. If you have to create a new USB stick because of the failure of the previous stick, you need to have a copy of prior USB stick for the server configuration. You could then run in trial mode until you can get the license transferred to the new USB stick. You can do this one time per year automatically through the GUI. If you need to do it more than once a year, contact Support directly and they will help you with the transfer if you explain the situation to them. Edited June 2, 20242 yr by Hoopster
