December 3, 2025Dec 3 Hello,A few days ago I bought a new license, first I had a starter license but the support for it was ended. OS Update eligibility expired on 2025-10-01Because I was planning to use more hard drives/cache drives I opted for the Unleashed license.So after trying to activate it many times and clicking on all the stuff I saw, like "redeem activation code", I was unable to make it work.That's when I contacted the support and that man told me I had use a new USB to activate the new license.But now I have a few questions:If I make a new USB drive, I can restore a backup from my previous USB drive so I have all the settings but is that linked to my old license (starter)or am I able to activate the new key for instance in "Tools" => "Registration"?
December 3, 2025Dec 3 Community Expert Solution If you purchased a new Unleashed activation code, instead of an upgrade from Start to Unleashed, you will need to use a new flash drive.You can create the new flash drive using the USB tool, copy the complete config folder from the older one, except for the starter.key, then activate the new license and it will have all the previous settings.
December 3, 2025Dec 3 Author Ok thanks for clarifying, when my new flash drive arrives I will try that.I guess I made a mistake in the progress of buying an upgrade.
