Losing license when migrating from old to new readynas chassi

Hello

I have a RN31200 with two disks (4tb each). I recently bought a new RN524X00 an migrated the two disks as i read you colud do 

whith these models. Everything worked exept from my surveillance program. The Milestone Arcus. I have bought some licenses and that was the problem. licenses lost. Not possible to install cameras. 

I have transfered the two disks back to the old NAS and now the licenses are there again.

Does anyone now how i transfere the disks to my new system without loosing the licenses?

best regards 

Magnus

  • Since the licenses are attached to your NAS serial number, they don't transfer directly.  But ReadyNAS support should be able to give you what you need to transfer the licenses to the new NAS serial number.  Do keep in mind, though, that Netgear stopped supporting Milestone Arcus some time ago, so you are delaing with an older version of the software and may at some point have a problem with an OS update.  So you may want to start looking at alternatives.  I personally use Blue Iris on a PC with my NAS as the target for video backup.

        my.netgear.com will let you do it.  But I think it's best to wait a bit, and see if the mods ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) chime in - they can assist.
