      Are you still seeing that problem? I know there was an issue over the weekend but it should be resolved now.

              Hi, thanks for the update. I've checked again and the upgrade went though without a hitch.

                  Check your clocks. Last april, that was 4 months ago.

                  This (thread) concerns a cert issue on the Netgate side.
                  It was resolved last April.

                  If the server side doesn't work, no one, that is : all the pfSense users, couldn't (look for) update any more.
                  That's not the case.

                      Nice, a scrolling gif 👍
                      But instead of uploading a million size gif image file, what about the old fashioned text copy and paste ?
                      I can't follow the scrolled lines as it is to fast - no pause button.
                      Also, a text copy paste is waaaay more space economic (CO2 friendly 😊 )

                        You are trying to upgrade from CE to Plus here?

                        Did you also just reinstall?

                        You might need to open a ticket and ask to have your NDI bumped. Or just wait 24hrs. There's a limit to the number of times the server will hand out certificates, you may have exhausted it.

                          yup from CE to plus and I also did a reinstall recently. After about 8 hours it allowed me to upgrade. likely what happened is as you described.
