I’m not laughing! 8-) I know that the kind of administrative trick you suggest is possible, at least for software probes. I discovered this when, during a Turris OS upgrade, I “lost” such a probe. The solution suggested by the Atlas team was simply to register the new instance with the ID number I had been using before. This worked. IIUC, each hardware probe is pre-registered. This may be an obstacle; I don’t know. /Niall
