License Deactivated?

[tiefling]

I purchased a license for Minimserver a while back and after starting up my server this morning it didn't start properly. I loaded it up and there was an error:

"Minimserver [67babfd1] Not licensed for this device; resetting to Starter Edition"

I used systemctl to restart the server and when it restarted the error has gone, but so has all my server configuration and it's now running in Started mode, which is useless to me. It seems to have run an update, which I did not ask it to do, which it offered me on the admin screen on my last startup which has now invalidated my license.

My license page is now showing:

Your MinimServer license type is Starter, with no expiry date.
Your trial license expired on 24 October 2024 15:44:12 BST

You are using MinimServer Starter Edition. This version of MinimServer is designed to be easy to use with limited configuration options. It does not require a license and does not expire.

I deliberately didn't extend the license at the end of the first year as I didn't need MinimStreamer or any of the newer features; now it seems to have force updated itself.

I went to "Activate full license" and reentered my license key and email address but now get "a468e8df] License expiry date conflicts with installed package minimserver-update-274" (Because it's updated itself).

---------------------------------

UPDATE: I restored a backup from a few days ago and restarted the server - I now get this:

[MinimServer update 274 is available
To install this update and relaunch MinimServer, click Install: Install
