Hi all,
I apologise if this has been asked before (I did search, but didn't find)
Last year I created an OpenPlotter on my Pi 3b+ using the then available version of OpenPlotter. Now the new 1.x.x is out, I'd like to update, but if I do that I lose the license for my o-charts oeSENC- kind of the whole reason I have this plotter anyway.
According to O-charts I can update the program, (but not the OS ) without losing the license, but I can not find how to update. (apt-get upgrade does not work, and the update feature in OpenPlotter gives me a prompt saying there is an update)
Any hints would be appreciated!

Thanks for your quick reply- but like I said: The update feature in OpenPlotter gives me a prompt saying there is an update- and only an OK option which only closes the dialog but does not update. I do not have the pi here now, will check if I can make a screenshot tonight.

Can you clone the card as a backup?
not recommended but some times i just hack the openplotter.conf file and change the version or the branch to trick openplotter into an update.

HI, I am in same case for my configuration "0" (Pi 3 +OP 0.17.1+ o-chart pack).
Changing the OP version (1st digit) means new installation and loosing the associated chart pack.
BTW Config 1 is on board (Pi 3+, OP 1.2 and o-chart pack), and config 2 (Pi 3+, OP1.2 or OP 2.0 ? and waiting to order new pack) is almost completed ...
I wouldn't like to re-pay the pack, and learn that 2.x is just about to come ...
We
NEED information about the development plan, to know :
- whether next step will be 1.3 or 2.0 ?
- will it be a stable release ?
- when can we expect it to come ?
Without that information we are
stuck and can't make any
further move.
Hello Sailoog, could you post a thread on this topic pleeeeaaase ?
Cordialement
