      Hey everybody,

      I recently moved back to pfsense. I restored a backup I had. Now I have everything back up and working but it is still the ce edition installed. I went to update to pfsens plus but it wont do it. The device is already registered (it says so and I had pfsense plus running).

      Here is a screenshot of the error:
      7499db60-2656-4114-aa52-9f2d72dc1b79-grafik.png

      Things I already tried:

      • I have selected a different branch and re-selected the plus ranch
      • I went to Diagnostic - Edit File and replaced it with content that should work (for others)

      Is there a way to manually upgrade it? How do I proceed from here on?

      Thank you everybody!

      Edit: This is the lo
