Title: Transfer radio board and license to another Rapsberry Pi
Post by: Mat on October 13, 2016, 09:20:32 pm

I'd like to shift one of my PilotAware units from the original Raspberry Pi to a newer Rapsberry Pi 2B to take advantage of the extra features. I recall the license is tied to the MAC address of the Pi Ethernet now instead of the WiFi dongle as originally. Is this easy to do? (I presume it's not automated!)

Turns out Raspberry Pis are out of stock at present.... but once I've solved that problem will be in touch.

Nick,

I suggest you drop a pm to Lee (Admin). He will need to know the details (MAC addresses) of your original licence and of your new Pi and will then be able to sort this for you.

Peter
