October 22, 20241 yr Community Expert I have read through numerous posts here, but I can't find a clear answer. My current USB is fine, no issues. However, my OCD wants me to recreate the USB from scratch when I start using unRAID in production. I have been testing it for a few months now and I believe that I am ready to clear everything and start from the beginning. I understand that New Config is an option to clear the current drive/array config. But I would like to wipe EVERYTHING. There is no data to worry about on the drives. 1) Can I use the USB tool to recreate the USB? 2) Do I need to do anything special to transfer my license? I have read through the documentation, such as the page below, but they are all about creating a net-new USB, whereas I want to continue to use my current USB drive. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/changing-the-flash-device/#why-replace-your-usb-flash-boot-device Thanks to all.

A follow up question, if I recreate it, and don’t move the config folder back in, will I need to do anything special to apply my license back? Or will the license be attached based on the usb GUID automatically. thanks again.
October 23, 20241 yr Solution You will need to copy just your license file over and restart, if you have already formatted, you will be able to download it again and it will work as long as same usb stick Edited October 23, 20241 yr by MyKroFt
