Demo Version has timed out.

[rriley]

Hi, I just installed 5.0f on a new rPI B 2, first time install. It boots fine, i accepted the terms & conditions but then it immediately defaulted to the maintenance tab with the error "Demo Version has timed out. You need to purchase a license with the embedded PayPal function for further operation (System-ID: Ie5JaFP2)." at the top of the page. I want to use the demo period, so any idea what's up?

thanks, Rich.

I am not sure it is the same as some other versions, but you should try to upgrade the downloaded version to the latest one.

Remark: Demo period has timed out, but you can use "update (auto)" function on page "maintenance" to install a never version, which will give you some time for testing.

Hope this works,

thanks, i installed the latest build from the images page (5.0f) and just tried to reinstall it from within the web ui but can't figure out how to upload the image... it won't accept a typed in absolute path and there's no file picker option...

Interestingly i just unplugged it from the network, plugged it directly into the back of my PC so it would use the default IP address and the error didnt show up, so i configured it with a valid static ip address etc, reconnected it to my LAN, rebooted it, and the error showed back up... so i'm guessing that it's doing a check somewhere remotely and getting my rPI confused with someone else's (who's demo period has expired...).

5.0m is online now, that works until end 2016 or until 3 months of usage have passed.
