                You are seeing no branches like that?

                  @stephenw10 Hi, we have the same problem, pfSense+ 24.11. The problem appeared since about 3 days ago.

                        Hello,
                        I have exactly same issue. I am running pfSense on Proxmox. It was all good until couple days ago i've notices empty branches and dashboard shows community edition. If i enter activation token again, it accepts it but dashboard still showing community and no updates/branches available. How can we proceed?

                                  It may fail during the upgrade or at reboot. Does that message return if you clear it? Can you see the available packages list?

                                      Mark it as read and it should be removed from the dashboard.

                                        Ok I will try it.
                                        I did Mark All as Read. After I reboot pfsense. Notice come back again
                                        Upgrade
                                        check_upgrade: "Updating repositories metadata" returned error code 1 @ 2025-05-31 01:23:18

                                        ! Before upgrading pfSense from version 2.7.2 to 2.8, I removed all the installed packages. After completing the upgrade, I reinstalled the same packages again.

                                            But it only returns if you reboot? It checks for updates periodically or if you refresh the check on the dashboard. If that isn't throwing the error then it's not a general issue but something at boot.
