@mail3dexter
Do you see 24.11 on the branch? Because I see you are already on plus. -
@Wolf666 I am not seeing it :(
-
@mail3dexter check update settings tab

@Wolf666 I see same thing here too
I tried upgrade through CLI too with no luck:

That message implies the device is not eligible for Plus. Send me your NDI in chat and I'll check it.

stephenw10@ helped me fix the licence problem. Now I see updates available. How do I upgrade from 23.01 to the next or latest version?
The update settings at the moment is showing me 3 branches:
Previous Stable Version (23.05.1)
Previous Stable Version (23.09)
Deprecated Version (23.01)How do I go to version 25.x?
-
@mail3dexter Sometimes there are required steps. IIRC you need to go to 23.09 first.
And of course scan the release notes and upgrade guides

@SteveITS I thought so and hence I did step upgrade. I went from 23.05 -> 23.05.1 -> 23.09 -> 23.09.1. System is currently rebooting
-
I guess 24.11 is the current stable version for my box. 25.07 is beta version available, so I will stick with 24.11.
Thank you everyone for the help.

For future reference you should always be able to upgrade to the newest offered version in one step. We test upgrades from the previous two versions.
