Great OS. The flexibility and ease of expansion made Unraid the choice for me.  I have converted 3 people at my work so far this year. Couldn't ask for a more supportive community!

@Gragorg

I've always wanted to have my own media library for my home theater and a gaming PC that both a friend and I could use at the same time. I now run a modest Plex server and multiple other Dockers and recently just built a "2 Gamers, 1 CPU" style rig for gaming. Unraid has made it possible for me to achieve both of these goals. Thank you!!

Happy Unraid user of about 3 years or so, and I'm on my second build now (with build #3 in the next 12 months). Unraid allowed me to consolidate a bunch of separate machines with separate storage into a single more easily managed system. It also lowered the barrier to entry to technologies like virtualisation, docker and just linux in general.

My colleague recommended Unraid to me. I have never looked back with anything other than pure joy. With VM, docker support and a loving community, what more can I ask for?

Frequently Asked Questions

Check out our Getting Started page for a simple step-by-step guide.

When you purchase an Unraid OS license, you own a perpetual copy of the software forever. 

You have two options: 

  1. If you've already started a trial, you can purchase licenses and upgrades from the top right drop-down within Unraid.
  2. You can purchase an Unraid license "activation code" from the Buy Now buttons above and activate your license later.

The pricing listed is per server. All sales are final. Please utilize our free 30-day trial before purchasing!

Trial licenses last 30 days and provide the full functionality of an Unraid Pro license with no attached storage device limit.

To begin, you must have a quality USB drive ready and download our USB creator tool. Then, follow our Getting Started Guide to be up and running in minutes. Trial licenses require an internet connection upon server boot to validate.

License upgrades are purchased from within the Unraid WebGUI via the top right drop-down.

Pricing is as follows:

  • Basic license to Plus = $39 USD
  • Basic license to Pro = $79 USD
  • Plus license to Pro = $49 USD

Attached storage devices refer to the total number of storage devices you are allowed to have connected to the server before starting the array, not counting the USB Flash boot device.

There are no other limitations in the software based on the license type. Non-storage devices such as GPUs do not count against the license tier limits.

Unraid OS boots from a USB flash-based storage device.

Other boot devices, such as SD card readers, HDDs, or SSDs, are not currently supported.

You can manually transfer your license to a new USB Flash device at any time up to once per year.

After that, contact support.

No. After an Unraid license is purchased, no internet connection is required unless you are updating the OS or downloading apps, containers or plugins.
