[Solved] Upgrade to Business Edition not possible

[citydweller]

Hi,

after buying a subscription for the business edition, I followed the instructions in the pdf of the confirmation email: https://www.deciso.com/downloads/ACTIVATE OPNsense Business Edition.pdf

But there are two problems here.
1. There is no choice for a "Production" release. I choose "Business" instead. Is that correct?
2. I clicked save, upon I entered the subscription key, checked for updates in the status tab, clicked Update on the Update tab. But after that, nothing happens. Here is the output of the log. I'm using the OPNsense 21.1.8_1-amd64 community edition. Also after a reboot it's still the community edition.

Anybody does have some hints?

Hi,

At a first glance I would expect some issue with plugins (versions locking), can you try to remove the following packages using the commands below and try to update again via the gui?

Code Select Expand


pkg remove -f os-cache
pkg remove -f os-iperf
pkg remove -f p5-Net-IP-1.26_1


The "business" type is indeed the correct one by the way.

Best regards,

From a plain 21.1.8 (only os-dyndns) installed moving to 21.4.2 the problem does not appear so Ad seems to be right about plugin version conflicts that the FreeBSD package manager cannot resolve.

Eventually 21.4.3 will move to PHP 7.4 / Phalcon 4 combination which is part of the trouble here, but that particular release is planned for after 21.7 release at the end of the month.


Cheers,

Removing os-cache should make the upgrade work. Another method would be to use

# opnsense-update -f

which cleanly reinstalls all packages from the new mirror. The GUI firmware will however still want to move to opnsense-business afterwards (this is correct).

Thanks for your hint! It was the os-cache plugin. I removed it, then the upgrade was successful.
