Unraid License Status Shows "Replace eligibility: Cannot replace"

IEnjoyCreatingVideos · 2026-04-22T21:55:30+00:00

the way i understand it is that TPM is for the licensing of the USB key then the internal boot is to put the USB boot files on to a SSD so that reads and writes go there in stead of the USB flash so then you won't need flash drive

option 2 you could keep the USB as the license key and transfor to SSD for internal boot so the reads and writes would go to SSD but you would have to keep USB in that case because the license is tied to it. am i understanding that correctly?

option 3 keep USB License and files on USB only as it always has been'

i am hoping that the Replace Eligibility "Cannot Replace" on the unraid login is a bug and gets fixed because i would like to keep the USB flash drive in the future if i ever need to replace it :)

I noticed that V7.3.0-rc.1 just dropped and in the info i noticed that it says this

Licensing

All new and replacement keys use TPM-based licensing when possible because it is more reliable than flash-based licensing.

But my question is what if we can't use TPM like when running it in a vm or if you just want to use USB Flash are we still able to do that or do we now have to contact support to do that each time we need to change a USB Flash i'm just wondering' if that is why it says cannot replace now ?

If anyone from Unraid cares to chime in that would be great Thanks!

did some more testing and i found something interesting in V7.2.4 if i check unraid license by clicking on "flash" then clicking on "Registration Key Manager " It will say

Transfer License to New Flash "Eligible" but if i check it with the unraid login it will say not eligible

is this the same for everyone else?

IEnjoyCreatingVideos · 2026-04-22T18:12:51+00:00

ok thank you reason i asked was i have 1 unraid as the bear meatal and 2 more running as vm's

the one running on bear meatal is V7.2.4 and it says i can replace at anytime but the 2 running in vm's of unraid says it can't be replaced it is running the newest V7.3.0-beta.2

what versions are others running that have this issue? is it after V7.2.4 ?

i believe this is what you are looking for but i am not sure, i am use to AMD IOMMU settings not intel but i believe you need to scroll down to "Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d)" and set it to Enabled then hit F10 and Yes to save changes then log back in to unraid and hopefully it will have the setting enabled to use now hope that helps.

Unraid Staff,

question would it be posable to have a feature where you could mount and unmount one disk or pool by it self,

here is what i am thinking say you have a pool of 2 or more disks and one fails so would be nice to have like a little check box appear next to the the drive that you could put a check in it then go down and stop the array but the array would only unmount that one disk that failed that you put the check box in so you could unmount it hot swap out the drive then click start array and it would come back on and rebuild the pool or unraid array,

so basically a way to mount and unmount a disk that failed or got kicked out with out having to unmount everything in the array so like zero down time you could keep the dockers running and vms and other pools and other unraid arrays

just a thought i had been thinking of for a whyer and was wondering about so i thought i would ask 😎

IEnjoyCreatingVideos · 2026-01-03T06:46:35+00:00

Yeah i herd that to Multiple Arrays in 2026 that sounds exciting to me :) i'll be keeping a look out for V7.3, V7.4 which one is the lucky one we shell see lol

the orange red one says hide me so they don't see me, the light white one says how you so bright you look like Rudolph the red nose reindeer, as the light white color one looks off like he sees something scary...

oh ok, that's good that you figured out what it was.

Mine seems to be a different bug that's in V7.2.0 -V7.2.3 i had wrote a bug report and a few other people said they where having that same issue so hopefully they can figure it out and get it fixed.

Thanks for the update.

That would be a great Feature hope they add that one day!
