Restore pfS config.xml to new h/w
-
Netgate license is tied to the hardware.
- For Netgate hardware with hardware lifetime software updates included, that makes perfect sense to me.
- For third party hardware with a yearly subscription I’m not convinced it’s optimal.
Either way changing Netgate licensing is beyond me

@chudak Do you have a Plus license? If not the NDI doesn’t matter.

I do.
I wonder how long will I be able to stay on unregistered plus pfS

The unregistered device won't get any updates at all but will run otherwise fine.

I wanted to install 23.04 and then upgrade
Sounds it won't be possible on unregistered device?

No it will need to be registered to see 24.03 available. Or any Plus version.

But I will be install the 25.x, yes?

@patient0 Yet another reason to avoid pfSense Plus. No tangible benefit for the average user but with the added hassle of DRM.

@chudak no. Not with out buying a new plus subscription for that new non Netgate device.
Edit, from your other thread
@chudak said in Why do we need to pay for pfS + ????:I paid for 2 years pfs + subscription.
In order to install on a new h/w I need to install CE and then transfer my subscription or buy a new one.
pfsense plus subscription Netgate sell is tied to the hardware and not transferable.
When buying a new subscription ( which was always a requirement) you can readily buy it for a new device.
As described above

I might be overreacting, but this is BS and adds only more troubles to users :(
