Title: RPI 3 upgrade
Post by: Shortwing on May 30, 2019, 07:00:39 pm

Sorry to ask a stupid question, with the forthcoming software upgrade - it's probably time to upgrade the pi in my unit.

Which version 3 is the correct one to get?  And Can I just switch my license over to the new unit using the inbuilt wifi?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Shortwing,

Whilst we have been testing the new software on both the Pi3B (as fitted in the Rosetta) and the Pi3B+, and it appears fine on both, I can’t at this point say whether Lee is prepared to support operation on the Pi3B+ yet, so hold fire until the release announcement.

As for changing over the license from a 2B to a 3B (or 3B+ if supported), this requires you to send a request by e-mail to support@pilotaware.com - quoting your name and the MAC address of both the old and new Raspberry Pi (The Licence is tied to the MAC address of the Pi). Support will then transfer the remainder of your existing licence to your new unit.

Hope this helps - be patient, the upgrade is well worth the wait!

Regards

Peter
