Minim Server constantly reverts to Starter Licence - ras - 15-11-2022 11:01
We have a full license to MinimServer, but every few days MinimServer stops, (the minimserver tray icon disappears completely) and after inspecting the log:
MinimServer 2.1 update 218, Copyright © 2012-2022 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
MinimStreamer 2.0.9, Copyright © 2012-2021 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
MinimServer: license error 13: 0176d4ace099 0176d4acdfe0; resetting to Starter Edition
Startup complete - press enter to shutdown
The OS is Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS. This machine is used solely to run MinimServer and is dedicated to that function only.
Why does MinimServer periodically fail to recognize our license, and what can we do to prevent this?

Is MinimServer running in a Docker or LXC container or is it running natively as an Ubuntu application?
When you restart MinimServer, what happens? Are you able to reactivate your full license?
Edit: I have an idea about what might be causing this. Please reply to the PM I have sent you.

The machine is a KVM server running on a Proxmox physical server. When I restart MinimServer it has reverted to the Starter licence, and I have to re-enter the license key and email address manually, and restart. Then it re-indexes all my content, which takes approximately an hour. I'm contemplating moving to an LXC, and have read the Minim documentation on doing that, but haven't yet.
