Today runing in some trouble.
My SD card is broken, replaced it with a new one and installed Meteohub (last image download).
I want to apply my backkup config file, but thats not working for some reason.
I think the issue is that the system gives the following message.
Demo Version has timed out. You need to purchase a license with the embedded PayPal
The activation key I have doesn't work

Follow these instructions to get a new activation code:
https://wiki.meteohub.de/wiki/index.php/Transfer
Make sure you copy down both the Old and New Activation Codes and System ID’s carefully as without them you will not be able to reactivate your Meteohub RPi and will have to email Boris to get a new one.
The system ID and Activation Code are tied to the individual SD card so a new one must be generated whenever you have to change SD cards.
Also, If you’ve replaced your SD card with a standard SD card, be aware that standard cards have a limited number of read and write cycles before they get corrupted ( which is why you have had to replace it ). To extend the life of your SD card, get an SD card that has SLC memory. They are much more expensive but will last much longer and prevent the situation you are in now from happening again for a much longer time period.
There is an 8GB SLC SD card on eBay for $39 US. It’s item # 144111473765.

I have exactly the same problem.
The SD card installed with the file mhrpi-v5.0s.img only shows the menu “Mainteance”. The entries cannot be saved there.
Thank you for your help

Addition:
For a code transfer I have to enter the new System-ID which is not visible because the page "Maintenance" is blocked. Therefore a code transfer is not possible.
The old old System ID and the old Activation Code are available.
It seems that there is no connection to Meteohub anymore ! Also the Paypal field does not react anymore.
I would be very grateful for a solution to the problem
