Old ASG 220 - license and software updating

AndersAR
Hello,
I've seen some threads here already with much the same questions, but just to clearify some things (I've sent the question to Astaro, but not received word so far)

I recently purchased an old ASG 220 (2006-model). I've connected it to my network (running HP ProCurve 24p) and accessed the webadmin easily. However, the basic license naturally has expired.
The software is V7.304 if I remember correctly. 

The options for renewing to a free home user license as I've understood is;
- Updating via Up2Date by settting time & date to an earlier point (how?)
- Requesting a temporary license from Astaro to renew software to later V7 revisions and eventually maybe V8 ?

Since it's free home user license I'm talking about, I thought it would be best to ask here as well, since I'm not paying Astaro anything at the moment...

    OK, a little free advice...

    It sounds like you're in a business, and that you're testing the Astaro for that.  If that's the case, and you intend to use this for something other than a device at home, you shouldn't nuke the partition table to install a software iso.  You might be able to work with a local reseller to get a 30-day demo license for the subscriptions you're interested in.

    Then again, the reason people sold their old 220s was the limitation to 512MB of RAM.  Depending on your user count and the subscriptions you need, it's likely that you would have to make some choices between security and stability/speed of the ASG.  Again, you need to talk to a reseller if this is a potential business solution.

    Cheers - Bob
