      Trying to upgrade to pfsense plus. I've registered and I get the option the "pfSense Plus Upgrade". However, I get a "Unable to check for updates"

      In the shell, I tried "pfSense-upgrade -d -c", with following result:

       pfSense-upgrade -d -c

            Use the credentials used to obtain pfSense Plus key

                  There's nothing you can do on your end - it has to be done on ours.

                    @rcoleman-netgate I had to reinstall pfsense and I am back on ver 2.6.0. When I try to register to PLUS the Activation token is grey-out. Screenshot from 2022-08-28 08-31-27.png .

                      You should already have access to the upgrade branch. Just select it from the update settings and you should be able to upgrade to Plus.
