Stupifier Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'd like to purchase a license NOW. Do I need to wait for my trial to end or is there an easy way to get this done before my trial ends? I'd really like to get this done sooner rather than later. Link to comment
Guest Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It's easy! a) if you already have an UnRAID installation Click on the top left where it says "unRAID server Trial", right underneath the Limetech logo. There will be an option to purchase a key. Once purchased, the key will be tied to your server immediately and you will have to input your serial code into UnRAID. b) if you don't have an UnRAID installation yet You will unfortunately need to install UnRAID first before attempting to purchase a product key.

If your USB drive happens to bite the dust you can always ask the Limetech guys to send you a new key, so no worries on that part. Enjoy! Link to comment

Enjoy! Just be sure you keep an up to date backup of your USB drive, it's easy, just click on "Flash" on the main GUI page, then click on "Flash Backup". Whenever you make major changes like replace or add or change drives, make a new backup and discard the old one. If you have a current backup and your flash drive dies, you can be back up and running with a new flash drive in minutes, key file replacement is automated with a few clicks. Otherwise you will need to dig up a copy of your license key file from your email, or wait for Limetech to help, and you will need to reassign your drives to the correct slots and redo some settings. Either way your data is fine, just more work if you don't keep a backup. Link to comment

Ideally you would save it someplace OFF of the array, but theoretically you could set up a trial USB, assign all your drives as data drives, find your backup zip file, then use it with the USB creator tool to duplicate your running system drive.
