Home license on XGS hardware - did anyone get this running?

Oliver Schnürer

Dear community,

I recently purchased a pre-owned XGS116w appliance and would like to run the home license on it. There are several forum posts how to start to get a home license onto a XGS hardware, but I could not find any which actually stated "I've succeeded in running a home license on a XGS appliance!".

Maybe my search was not thorough enough, but does anybody successfully run the home license on XGS hardware? 

Thanks,

Oliver

    I haven't tried myself so far, but all posts i could find, ended up in failure as well. Seems like serial number is embedded into mainboard on xgs appliances, so you cannot install software version by replacing or wiping disk....

    If nothing works you could always install a hypervisor onto the box (like proxmox) and from there install the software version on a vm in the hypervisor. It is not the same but it comes close and it has a good chance to work.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I may try that when my trial licenses expire - which is in a couple pf weeks. 

    Cheers, Oliver
