You need to deactivate/deregister your licenses before doing a factory reset. You could contact support and ask them to reset the licenses.

"You need to deactivate/deregister your licenses before doing a factory reset"
I upgraded my FW on Thursday morning... I waited till Sunday evening and it never moved out of "Booting...". Nothing I could do would give me access to be able to do anything on the Surveillance app. So I was left with having to do a reset.
"You could contact support and ask them to reset the licenses."
ReadyNAS support? You mean, I must pay for something that show be built into the licensing? i.e. same license codes for same physical NAS. I would think the licensing model would at least be able to detect that it's being applied against the same NAS.
