      Hi i purchased 10 pfsense 6100 appliance from official reseller.
      Web gui says that appliance has already been registered.
      What should I do if i need tac support?
      It should be enabled with pfsense+ 23.05 if I'm not wrong.
      How can i contact pfsense support?
      Can i open a ticket?
      Can i download pfsense+ from somewhere for my registered netgate appliance?
      I would like to upgrade offline

      thanks a lot

        @reynold you can open a ticket at go.netgate.com to ask for details.

        to reinstall, free ticket:
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-6100/reinstall-pfsense.html
        ...might be a good idea if you're not 100% sure it's not been used.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            Well you wrote "Web gui says that appliance has already been registered." To be honest, I do not really pay attention to registration since we are the ones selling these to our clients, and someone else is ordering them, so I just set them up. :) Netgate TAC should be able to answer any questions about your device.

            But, the only way to "upgrade offline" is to reinstall from USB.

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.

              Netgate appliances do not need to be registered by the end user. They are already registered before they are ever shipped.

              Yes, open a ticket with us to get the recovery image if you need it:
