I have pfSense CE installed on custom hardware (Supermicro 1U chassis with embedded Intel processor) and I’d like to migrate it to pfSense Plus and pay for enterprise support.
pfSense has sent instructions on how to do this (see below), but I’m curious if anyone on this forum has done this in production and were there any problems?
As a result of you having Community Edition as of now, you will actually need to choose the “Upgrade” option on the renewal page of our website. Once you do, you will receive an activation token and need to follow the directions below to have the paid version of the software:
** Navigate to System > Register in the pfSense CE software GUI*
** Paste the Activation Token into the text area on the page*
** Click Register*
The page will display a message indicating the registration results. If the registration was successful, continue. If registration failed, contact Netgate TAC.
** Navigate to System > Update*
The page will contain a message announcing the pfSense Plus software migration branch.
** Set Branch to pfSense Plus Upgrade as seen in figure pfSense Plus Software Branch Selection.*
** Wait for the firewall to complete the update check*
** Click Confirm to confirm and start the migration process*
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
