Downgrade to general release?

[ericnix]

Since updating to the development release, I no longer have an option to choose to go back to the general release. I do not have a System > Registration page to enter a registration code.

Does anyone know the direct URL that will bring up the registration page? I tried /registration.php and /system_registration.php without luck.

There was a bug introduced in a development snapshot that causes your situation.

You will need to manually upgrade the pfSense-upgrade package as:
pkg update && pkg upgrade -f pfSense-upgrade

Then try upgrading via the GUI again.

It could also be that your NDI has changed since you upgraded from CE (if you did upgrade from CE).
If you PM me your NDI I can check that.

@cmcdonald said in Downgrade to general release?:

pkg update && pkg upgrade -f pfSense-upgrade

Thanks for that. I was able to upgrade to 23.01.b, but still unable to switch the branch (there is nothing in the drop down).

Probably because your NDI is no longer recognised. PM it to me and I can check.

@stephenw10 Thanks, I just sent a chat message. I couldn't find the link to DM. (Bitwarden has both active on their forum, so not sure if it's the same thing here.)

Just for others who might see this the issue here was that the firewall here is a Netgate device but was sold before NDIs existed so our database did not contain it.

@stephenw10 Thank you for fixing the issue. :)
