Raspberry PI - SD-Card - Limitation in trial? **solved**

Hello, I plan to run Meteobridge on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an SD card in the future.
As described in the wiki ("as industrial SD cards are hard to shop in 2026 this high endurance non-SLC variant is also suited: SanDisk MAX ENDURANCE microSD™ Card - 32GB"") and in this thread viewtopic.php?t=19127, I purchased a SanDisk 32 GB Max Endurance card and flashed it with the 1.4 image for PI. The system is running well so far as the Meteobridge trial version.

In the web interface under "System -> Information," the following is displayed:
"Storage: SH32G SD card not supported, no local data storage."

Could this be a limitation of the trial license? Local data storage is important to me before I purchase the software license.

Will the Local Data Storage feature perhaps be unlocked with the license, or will it remain unavailable despite the card being described as "also suited"?

Thank for help

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Rev 1.4
SW-Version: Meteobridge 6.4 (Sep 6 2026, build 4304), FW 1.4

As SD card availability has become a pure mess, I recommend to make use of this little hack to make your SD card applicable anyway.

When you direct your browser to this URL a file "anysdcard" will be placed in the root folder and Meteobridge will accept the SD card.

Yes, exactly like that. Open a browser on any device that is on the same network as the Pi and call that URL, replacing "ip-of-your-meteobridge" with the actual IP of your Meteobridge - the same address you type in to reach its web interface. If you are not sure which IP it has, your router's client or device list shows it. You only need to call the link once, it simply places the file in the root folder.
