            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.

                Enter an option: 13

                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    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.
