Kuno Claes Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hello, I am thinking and i am saving for buying a new server. Right now i am using a old laptop with 12 gb as XenServer (Virtualisation Server). I also will install unraid on that future planned server. But i would like to install UnRaid now on the old laptop. If i buy an UnRaid License and i use it on the laptop, can i after i bought the server and stop the laptop just use the UnRaid License without problems on the new server? Also: Will UnRaid support the specs of my planned server and run very smoothly and can i virtualise pfsense on it? Specs: Server Name: Dell PowerEdge R710 LFF Processors: 2x Quad Core Xeon X5550 / 2.66GHz/ 95W Ram: 96GB 10600R 1333MHz / 12x 8GB DDR3 + € 220,00 Raid Controller: LSI 9207-8i 6G SAS/SATA JBOD DRAC: No Network Expansion Card: HP NC365T Quad Port ( 4x 1GB RJ45 ) Power: 2x 570W Hard Disks: 4x 600GB HGST Ultrastar 15K SAS 12G (nieuw) + Caddy + € 300,00 Thank you for your trouble. Kind Regards, Kuno Claes Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The Unraid license is tied to the USB stick used to boot, so moving the USB stick between systems moves the license with the stick. Quote Link to comment
Kuno Claes Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Ok, but can i format the Usb stick and Reinstall UnRaid with that same license on the usb stick? Quote Link to comment

Make sure you have a copy of the license key file so you can put it back after doing the reinstall. Quote Link to comment
Kuno Claes Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Ok, Thank you. Now i need only need to know if UnRaid will work fine with my planned server. Edited April 24, 2019 by Kuno Claes Quote Link to comment
electron286 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 It looks like your planned server should be fine for the limited information you provided of your intended use. Smoothly is a bit subjective, especially with no additional details of intended use. There are many users using much less capable server configurations, with no issues of usability. However, any system can be loaded down with enough demand and too many processes. There are also quite a few users using PFSense on Unraid. I have no other details than that, since I do not use it. You may however find some information here that may help; Quote Link to comment
