Lost Pro License when upgrading from 5.0-rc8a to 5.0

[Shinyu]

Hello. I upgraded from 5.0-rc8a to 5.0 using Tom's instructions:

 

If you are currently running an earlier unRAID Server OS 5.0-beta or 5.0-rc release:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

- Probably the best thing to do is backup your Flash, reformat, re-install, restore 'config' directory, and

  then reboot.

 

But when unraid starts up again it is unRAID Server Basic instead of unRAID Server Pro.

 

I used the same USB stick as before and I even tried copying the original Pro.key into the config directory again. What do I do?

 

Thanks for the help.

Place the key in The root of the key not in the config directory.

[Shinyu]

Thanks for the reply. I put Pro.key in the root directory of my flash drive and it did not work.

 

In my backup of 5.0-rc8a the Pro.key is in the config directory.

did you name the flash device UNRAID ?

[Shinyu]

Yes, I did. In fact the make_bootable.bat will not run unless the USB is named UNRAID. Ask me how I know :-p

Finally got it to work. 

 

I had to install a fresh copy of 5.0. Then add my Pro.key. Reboot. Then copy my configuration over. Reboot.

Thanks, I had the same problem. That fixed it for me too.
