The reason for multiple sets of credentials is if you have multiple clusters - each of them on a different set of machines which each might have a different set of credentials. Also, the 'provision a Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS) cluster' options in Portainer (which let you spin up a cluster on Amazon EKS, Civo Kubernetes, etc.) can have sets of credentials set up for them and they are all managed via that Shared Credentials screen too. We'll look at putting some info text and a link to the Shared Credentials screen in the Create Cluster screen in a future release - to make it more obvious how you can change creds. Thanks for effectively pointing that out! James (PO at Portainer)
If you want to reuse that license, it might be possible if you reuse the initial portainer_data volume where you first created it (you'll also reuse the previous environment, but that is probably a plus), just use an NFS share when creating that volume, something like: docker volume create --driver local --opt type=nfs --opt o=addr=,rw --opt device=: portainer_data
Nice vid. Can also install Portainer business edition from scratch (without first installing community edition and upgrading). Still need the 3 nodes free license key once it spins up.
I thought about that as well, but upgrade takes less than a minute. Long story short I first of all played with CE, then noticed all the good things of business which led to this video :)
One important thing to note, those 3 free nodes are very misleading, if you have a cluster with one controller and two other nodes, It will suddenly count as 4 nodes because it is also counting the local docker environment THAT IS ON THE SAME NODE.

Cool, cool.

Thanks for info, good to know this
Thank you for this video.. glad you found Portainer useful. Neil@Portainer.
WoW! Nice to see you here :) My pleasure to make this video and I have a few more planned about Portainer :) Great software
