Hi,
I bought a board with L4 license upgradable to v6. What license do I have to buy in order to get to v7? L5 which costs $95 ? And then... ?
Or is it just "buy another L4, yet another L4, ..." ?
Fortunately, that's the one thing you're certainly not going to need to do.I can't easily imagine physical replacement of all AP's after the license expiration.
The plan here would be that once v7 is out, the next fiscal year's budget should feature an "emergency fund" for enough L4 licenses in case you need to upgrade all APs. You don't have to actually use that money if there are no "must have" features or security fixes in that new version, but the plan should be for that sufficient sum to be allocated if needed. Once used, there won't be a need to include it in the next budget, until v8 is out.I need to have the plan for this.
MikroTik, as far as I know, has never enforced the charging for an upgrade license. Not saying that it will always be like that, but currently it is. Whenever you install the OS on the board, it just increments to another version that you can upgrade to.
What is that board?Hi,

+1. I don't think you guys have anything to worry about.
RB532 is upgradable to RouterOS7 (which is not even released yet, but anyway). If you will have problems upgrading to v7 when it comes out, email support and we will help you.Not really...MikroTik, as far as I know, has never enforced the charging for an upgrade license.

I have RB532 s.n. 114501D225DD with L4 Licence 264*-*SFC with RouterOS 6.15 and BIOS [firmware] 2.18 and is not upgradable to 7.x
But what I ask? NOTHING... The board is installed from 2007, now after 7 ***SEVEN*** years of uninterrupted service, when 7.x is out I'm forced (really NOT, depend on new software features, and if really I ned it...) to replace it.
But after 7 year, I replace it also if possible to run 7.x without buy another licence...
About RB133C3?? My first 200/300 CPE installed (on year 2007) are that board, I replace it all some years ago with RB411 and above models because 4.x not working well on that model...
I think he meant that the license doesn't allow upgrading, and that he'll need to get a new license if he wants to upgrade to v7 when it comes out. I'm sure rextended understands the hardware itself should be upgradable without problems.RB532 is upgradable to RouterOS7 (which is not even released yet, but anyway). If you will have problems upgrading to v7 when it comes out, email support and we will help you.
This license value is legacy, and is not taken into account. upgrade to v6.17 and upgrade to v7 will be possible. software ignores it.I think he meant that the license doesn't allow upgrading, and that he'll need to get a new license if he wants to upgrade to v7 when it comes out.

Wait, so the ignore is intentional?!? I was left with the impression it's a bug and not a feature. That legally speaking, license is a limiting factor, even though technically speaking, it isn't.This license value is legacy, and is not taken into account. upgrade to v6.17 and upgrade to v7 will be possible. software ignores it.
I finally replace the RB532 with one metal 5, too slow. Now the latency is very slow: 2/4ms on 9Km link with -69/-66 dBm 31/99 % CCQ (because I'm waiting for cut one tree growth between)RB532 is upgradable to RouterOS7 (which is not even released yet, but anyway).

Did work! Awesome!Try going to System -> License
Press Update license key, the board will reboot. Try to upgrade after that.
Are you sure, Normis ?RB532 is upgradable to RouterOS7 (which is not even released yet, but anyway). If you will have problems upgrading to v7 when it comes out, email support and we will help you.
