Hi!  Recently purchased a pro license to be delivered via pre-configured flash.  I've been running the free version (5.0rc8a) for a long while (a year?) and I have all of my shares setup and everything works great.  Is the move from freebie to paid in this instance as simple as moving over my config files on my old flash to the pre-configured flash and booting (given the pre-configured flash will be running 5.0.3)?

 

There's so much information out there I may have complicated things that aren't at all complicated!  Any thoughts appreciated!

I think that would work.  But before you do that make a backup of the pre-configured flash drive first before you do anything.  At the very least keep a backup of the *.key file as that is the license file that is keyed to the flash drive.  As long as you restore that file you should be able to use everything else from your free version flash drive as far as I know.

Copy the config directory from the old flash and then add the key file to the config directory.

Thank you for the advice!
