      Your device does not require registration, we recognize it already. You may have already registered, or it may be a pre-registered Netgate appliance.
      when i try to update i get Unable to check for updates ?

        I've been working through the 7 levels of hell with similar issues. If you try to upgrade via console/terminal, what is the output you see?

                @nighthawk1967 you might want to share WHAT the error is you get on the console when trying to initiate an update.

                        I’ve been dealing with the same issue with pfsense plus. Fresh install of 22.05, no packages, can’t upgrade to the dev version in less than 1000 attempts because of the same authentication and certificate errors. Keep being told all is well but something on Netgate’s end is being difficult. I’ve reinstalled the OS no less than 5 times and have the same issue.

                        Edit: link to that thread

                          Are you still seeing that issue? There was some backend work to the repos last week that might have caused problem with the CE > Plus update but that should be resolved now.
                          That shouldn't have affected a 22.05 install accessing packages though.

                            I had these same issues when I tried updating. What fixed it for me was just a cold reboot for the router and then after reboot tried to do it again from CLI

                              @stephenw10 unsure if you’re directing your question to me. I can’t speak for the CE to Plus but my issues using the Dev snapshots coming from 22.05 were still there as of Friday. I ended up giving up as I’ve gotten no traction with my reports/thread.

                                Ah, so it was after upgrading to 23.01?

                                There shouldn't have been a problem accessing packages in a clean 22.05 install but after upgrading to 23.01 the backend upgrades would have been in play and could have caused issues.

                                  @stephenw10 check the thread that I linked to a couple posts above. I dot. Want to hijack this thread. I’m getting errors when trying to update to 13.01. Sometimes it somehow works and then I have no packages. Would love to sort this out. I just now tried a fresh 22.05 to 23.01 upgrade and it failed with no upgrade possible. Throws all sorts of weird errors as provided in my last post in the referenced thread.

                                  Edit: sorry the thread you want to see is:

                                      @jhorne Yes, you open a ticket at https://go.netgate.com with your Netgate Device ID, your errors, and your pfSense Plus upgrade order number and we can bounce the certificate -- they are good for a day or two and won't be regenerated immediately if you have an installation issue and have to start over.

                                        @rcoleman-netgate Hi Ryan, thank for the reply.

                                        i did end up fixing it, by mirroring repo files and cert files from my working node.

                                        im back up and running now! but good to know that there is a way to clear the cert and start over, ill keep that in mind if i ever get stuck and just cant get going. thanks!
