May 28, 20206 yr I have a bit of an odd one. I had 2 unraid servers one with a pro key and one with a basic key, I just shut down and tore apart the pro server and would like to add more disks to my basic server. Can I move over the pro key over to my basic server without losing my current configuration, and will I still be able to retain the basic key on a different flash drive or something to use it for another project in the future? Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks so much for your help!

May 28, 20206 yr The key file is linked to the hardware GUID of the flash drive, but you can accomplish exactly what you are saying by swapping the content of the config folder from one drive to another, excluding the .key file which stays with the drive. So, back up both USB sticks, label the backup folders clearly so you know which is which. On the pro stick, delete the config folder, copy the config folder from the basic stick, delete the basic .key file, copy the pro .key file from the backup, put the stick in the server that was basic, boot up to the same setup only with the pro license. Or copy and delete however you want, just start off with good backups of both sticks. The config folder holds all the array information, the .key file links to the physical stick. Mix and match however you want as long as the key stays with the proper stick.
