      Hi,

      I'm re-installing my pfSense, virtualized, going community than plus.
      Done the first time, registered with a free Home license, got Plus.
      Deleted the VM, re-installed, it seems the same license is not usable anymore.
      How can I get the licence to work again?

      Thank you,

        The license is only good for the same system for which it was issued. If you wiped and reloaded the VM, it would still work. Since you deleted and re-created the VM, it's now a different system with a new ID.
