Before you install
- The trial key is bound to the OS: Ubuntu (30 days), Astra (90 days), or Windows (90 days). A key for another OS will not activate.
- Windows: setup.exe and offline ZIP — /download/windows/. Ubuntu/Astra: .sh, online .tar.gz, and offline fat — /docs/ and /docs/install/. Fat is shared for Ubuntu and Astra.
- On Windows Server, Home Assistant runs only on a separate Linux machine (EAS uses IP + token). There is no on-box HA on Windows.
- On Astra in advanced mode, EAS can run alongside MIC after server prep with an engineer. This is not certification and not MRD support.
