My apologies @Danp , I had misunderstood the comments on the other commands in that KB article.

Good news, things are working, but it didn't seem like they would be.

xoa run npm i -g --unsafe-perm https://xen-orchestra.com/xoa-updater.tgz Seemed to work. I was then able to run systemctl restart xoa-updater and xoa-updater --upgrade.

After the upgrade command, this is the feedback:

At this point I thought there was a failure - but then I was able to run systemctl restart xo-server.service and access both the current web UI and the v6 UI.

I'm interested in trying the newer v6 features, so I just changed from the stable channel to latest using the web UI and ran upgrade - but it gave me an error:

Using ssh I went back to the command line and ran xoa-updater --upgrade again and this time it is proceeding forward.

And now it all works! Very weird. I think I'm in good shape now.

Since you're changing all of the underlying hardware that the guest has, Microsoft is going to force you to reactive.

You could look at setting up a licensing server to manage these systems and then feed them that information so they can validate and then license.

This isn't an issue presented by XCP-ng (or literally any other hypervisor), its a Microsoft restriction to ensure you aren't stealing their software.

@waveguide This is a good solution, glad it's working.
