Given that the USB thumb drive is used as a hardware lock and you buy a key locked to the GUID of a key, it's rather practical with a solution where you can buy the key from a running system.

 

And the first FAQ you see when you click on the pricing link is:

How do I purchase a registration key?

Registration keys are purchased after you download and install the software to your server.

Right, the messaging on the website could be a lot better - we're working on that.

 

We have you purchase through the unRAID OS webGUI for 2 main reasons:

1. It saves you from having to manually enter a 27-character GUID string.  Even using select/copy/paste this is error prone.
2. It proves that unRAID OS runs on your hardware.  This eliminates a huge number of refund requests.

If i buy a key locked to the GUID of a key, what happens if the USB key is damaged or destroyed or stolen???

You can do an automated transfer to another one once a year (and the old one then gets blacklisted).  If for any reason you need one sooner that then you need to contact Limetech via email.

 

Make sure you have a backup (obtained by clashing on the flash drive on the Main tab) any time you make a significant configuration change as this makes it very easy to transition to a new USB drive with all your configuration details intact.
