      It may work out well for me to use interim hardware to build a config on for a new system. That will be fully licensed.
      Can I transfer a license to new hardware? The old hardware will be retired. And the license only used in one place ..

        @Jake-Biker said in Moving License to other hardware:

        a license

        A "pfSense plus" ( ? ) license is "linked to the hardware ID", somewhat identical of what Microsoft us for its Windows license.

        I'm answering here as "another pfsense user", and I hope I'm wrong of course.

        Because licenses are not attributes from the forum, but from Netgate TAC (that's where you got it) why not using the same channel to get a status about your license ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          I am hoping that you can apply to have these transferred?

            Me ?
            I'm a user like you.
            But I read (probably) a lot more forum posts, so I saw recent identical questions and that's why I answered.

            Licensing is done at TAC, not here.
            ( there where you got it initially )

              If you have a paid Plus subscription then open a ticket with TAC to discuss. Usually it can be migrated if you had to replace failed hardware for example.
