      I have downloaded the Netgate installer but all I see in it is the PfSense Plus version. What am I missing? How do I get the Community Edition?

      Thanks in advance!

        @junfei028 Did you have an active Plus license on this hardware?

        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/install-walkthrough.html#ineligible-device-prompt

        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.
