noob starting off

[chris_netsmart]

I hope that someone can help, as I am getting very frustrated.

 

I have just build a bootable USB flash drive with UNraid version 6.6.4 and that when well.

then I click on Trail version, and the screen flash and took me into the Dashboard.

 

but when I tried and assign a Hard Drive to one of the slots, say the Party slot 1, and then go down to start I see that it is gray out and it informs me that I have to import the Trail key.

 

OK I say. so I go and find this on the root of my USB pen drive, and this is where I am having issues.

 

how do you install the key.    I have tryed cut and paste, drag and drop, type on the HTTP://localhost/trail.key but nothing is working.

 

as I want to start testing this as I am looking for a new storage device.

It should be sitting in the config folder on the flash drive

[chris_netsmart]

my mistake there is a file within the config folder called trail.key.

 

I how have tried the following url to active the OS.

http://localhost/config/trial.key

 

and I got he following error

 

ERROR, bad or missing key file URL: http://localhost/config/trial.key

 

and when Iook in the log file I see this

 

Dec 5 06:08:09 storehouse emhttpd: error: get_key_info, 586: No medium found (123): fread: /boot/config/Trial.key

 

do I need to re-create the USB Pen drive, and re-request the Trail key ?

 

ps. I wasn't asked for a email address when I requested a trail version. which look like the normal procedure to get a license key.

could this be a root course of my issue.

We eliminated the need for an e-mail address to register for a trial to make things easier.

 

Plus attach your diagnostics to this thread so we can review.  Something is amiss.

I would like to say that I have resolve the first issue.

 

if anyone is following behind me.  I had to do the following

    re-create the Boot Flash drive

    boot into GUI mode on the UNRAND Server

    set the regional time and place

    then I click on the Test Trail Icon, and this work.

 

I did try and fix my IP address but for some reason it didn't like this so I have to use DHCP.  I will try and fix my IP address once it has finished creating the Array
