      I have a redundancy setup, and

      I have a license for my Primay Pfsense Plus,
      so do i need to purchase another license for my secondary (Redundant) Pfsense Plus?

        @anandpeculiar Yes. Each router will have a unique NDI based on things like network cards.

        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 reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.

          Do both boxes need to be on either Plus or CE for HA setup to work even if hardware is identical?

            @MarinSNB Not sure, but I would guess you're likely to run into a problem if the Plus router is a newer FreeBSD version. The config sync could be a problem too because there are versions of the config file.
