[SOLVED] Licensing Nuances

[Alexey Vedernikov]

Hello all!

I installed Unraid 6.8.3 and am currently using a trial license. Initially, I wanted to install pfsense as a VM in Unraid. 
But Unraid at the start checks the license via the Internet!

And if Unraid can't check the license (and it can't because pfsense hasn't started yet), then the array doesn't start (which means it doesn't start pfSense).

It turns out a vicious circle.

To start the array, you need the Internet, and to have the Internet, you need to start the array (on which pfsense is located)

 

I currently have 2 questions:
1. will Unraid behave the same after purchasing a license?
2. if internet is lost, will the array be stopped?

No, only trial requires internet.

Internet is required for array start (for trial), once it is started it won't be needed until the next start.
