August 1, 20187 yr Hello I am very new to unRAID but not VMs I am fully capable of setting them up but when I started to grow in a gaming vm interest thats when I found out about unRAID (1 or 2 days ago) so today I finally decided to set one up as for I am told the first 30 days is free, so I go grab my san disk cruzer glide usb(16gb) and download the files and make the usb bootible I am doing this from a sorta tanky pc, i5 6500, gtx 1070, 16gb ram, 120gb ssd, 1tb hdd, so then I restart my pc hit f12 to go into boot menu and then select the usb I stated before and I'm in, I select the GUI mode and when I get into it I am introduced with this picture. I don't understand where/how to claim my free trial it seems as if I can only buy it what is going on? is this a bug or is there no more free trials anymore and if this is indeed a bug and a dev sees this could they email me the key at the email this account is registered on thank you! tower-diagnostics-20180731-1912.zip Edited August 1, 20187 yr by OmniAtom bad title
August 1, 20187 yr Author I forgot to mention that I have to unplug the usb after booting up the os and then plug it back again to be registered otherwise I will get a enoflash6 error, does that have anything to do with it? and I'm not running it from a vm. I'm running it just from my pc
August 1, 20187 yr Community Expert Put the flash drive in your PC and let it checkdisk. Also try a different USB port, preferably USB2.

I tried both already the flash disk seems to be completely fine in windows and when I boot from it but it still doesn't work I keep on getting this error

I'm running it just from my pc You shouldn't unplug after booting, and even if doing so seems to fix some problem, it can only cause others. unRAID will not mount the flash as the /boot device after it has already booted. Do you have any USB2 ports to try? Some systems seem to have problems when booting from USB3.
August 1, 20187 yr Author Yeah never mind I fixed it... a really weird way too, I had to boot up unraid on one usb then plug in a second one and I was able to register it, its not really what I wanted but it works thanks anyway!

This doesn't give me any confidence. Which flash drive did you register? You must boot from the flash that has the key file from the registration, and that key file will only work with one flash drive.
August 1, 20187 yr Author Oh well I'm not able to say if it really works or not because I am yet to get a trial key but pretty much I booted from one USB then plugged another USB in then refreshed the page and I was finally able to register to the 2nd USB that I plugged in so I use one usb to boot and another that has the key Edited August 1, 20187 yr by OmniAtom

August 1, 20187 yr Author Srsly? everytime I boot into unraid the usb that I booted off is not able to be accessed because of that enoflash6 error I used usb 2 and 3 and I ran chkdsk so I really don't know
August 1, 20187 yr Author Actually I managed to fix it using a similar method to what I said, pretty much what I did was plug in the two unraid usbs boot from the sandisk then I noticed that if I boot from the sandisk its able to read the usb but if I boot to the sandisk without the other usb it couldn't read it so then I just registered a trial key for the sandisk and then put it in and restarted and it worked, it seems I'm all ready to go
