If you experience version related issues, then please send supout file from your router to support@mikrotik.com. The file must be generated while a router is not working as suspected or after some problem has appeared on the device
Please keep this forum topic strictly related to this particular RouterOS release.
Metadata says "CMR server", so this is a service you only install once in your network and can manage other devices. Right?
(just kidding!)
"I like Winbox 4" if is it the price...
