Am I required to have a plan to upgrade?
Saw that 3.4.3 was out, attempted to run antman-upgrade and I'm receiving a message that I am not subscribed to upgrade and to purchase a plan...that's true. I'm just running a homelab on an older Antsle One and neither need nor want to pay $29 a month for it.
Previous upgrades were assumedly part of the purchase, but is this now a new requirement?
Hi @brandonwolf
If you are running on antsle hardware, you can use the Home Lab and use edgeLinux/antMan without plan. Upgrading to plan gives you access to more features and support.
You can use these commands to try upgrading antMan:
service anthilld restart
service anthilld status
upgrade-antman
If this still doesn't work, you can perform manual upgrade with commands below:
Try downloading antMan from your anthill.antsle.com account in the Downloads page.
Copy the file to your antsle using scp or an sftp client like Filezilla (https://docs.antsle.com/system/secure-ftp-sftp-access)
On the antsle's command line, extract the file
tar -xzf antman-X.X.X-x86_64.tar.gzOr for Nanos
tar -xzf antman-X.X.X-aarch64.tar.gzCD into the new directory
cd antman-x.x.x-x86_64and run the installer
./install
Sorry for the delay in response, just wanted to say the manual steps you described worked great! Thanks Daniel
For anyone else reading this, you can use wget instead of sftp.
Log into anthill.antsle.com
Click on "Downloads" and find the latest antman version, copy the link
in the terminal: wget <paste url to antman file here>
Continue with the tar/cd/install as per above.
Hi @brandonwolf
Yes, I forgot to mention you can absolutely use the wget command, and that's what I'm using on my antsle's to download packages such as latest antMan as needed.
Thanks for the great tip!
Thank you,

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for this -- it did work!
Hi @brandonwolf
Thanks for the update.
Glad to see that this worked for you.
Thank you,

System says It can't download my license after the upgrade. I do have two licenses, and anthill shows it connected to this antsle. How do I download one of my licenses back into the upgraded system?
Hi @anaglyph
Are you using edgeLinux 0.12.0 or earlier? If so, follow the steps below to upgrade your antMan.
You can check in antMan > Settings or on the command line with
antsleOS-versionIf so, you will need to download the antMan bundle from your anthill.antsle.com account in the Downloads page - antMan 3.4.4 for x86_64
Copy the file to your antsle using scp or an sftp client like Filezilla (https://docs.antsle.com/system/secure-ftp-sftp-access)Or download it directly to your antsle with 'wget'. Right click the Download link and copy the link address. Then SSH to the antsles command line and run the 'wget' command and paste the link e.g:
wget https://s3.wasabisys.com/wasabi--cloud-6a2aa848-8fea-4d97-b476-2e5ef9db7c18/antman-updates/antman-3.4.4-x86_64.tar.gzYour link may be different than this example so be sure and copy the link from antHill.
On the antsle's command line, extract the file
tar -xzf antman-X.X.X-x86_64.tar.gzCD into the new directory
cd antman-x.x.x-x86_64and run the installer
./install
Thanks you,
antsle Support
The download link for the x86 tar file gives this error (see attached screenshot):
