How To upgrade EVE-NG Full Pack to a Pro Version
Please first don’t say you have bought the eve-ng full pack from us, and say this is what you have deployed it and needs to upgrade to a pro version because “they accustomed to saying that this is a scam when you say I bought it from someone else.” With that said, you can ask them to upgrade the eve-ng full pack or swap your existing eve-ng pro licence to eve-ng full pack (if you already have a pro licence)
For some reason, maybe you cant upgrade to the eve-ng pro, don’t worry; you can download all qemu images from this path –> /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/ and copy all images with Filezilla or WinSCP client and upload all images to the existing eve-ng pro. For more information, please watch the two videos on how to download and upload images from the eve-ng full pack.
If you need to upgrade your eve-ng community (full pack) version to the pro version!
Please see the link below
Here are the steps, as per the link above you need to go to this path in your eve-ng full pack using Filezilla or WinScp: /opt/unetlab and then copy these three folders into your computer (the paths mentioned in the screenshot) and then you need to install the fresh eve-ng pro and after you have licensed it, copy all these three folders in the same directory from your computer to the eve-ng pro –> /opt/unetlab (screenshot below)
