In this GitHub repository, someone used a loader patch to bypass the system verification. You can download its NPK file and unpack it to see the bypass method. Theoretically, it could be applied to crack x86, CHR, ARM64, and various other platforms. I think RouterOS’s signature verification needs to be strengthened, and I hope it will be improved in the official release of version 7.20!
I remind everyone that without full administrative access, no matter what happens, nothing can be done.
essentially (with admin access) this is a keygen to crack any arm or chr/x86 instance to "P unlimited" or "P10" license level?
or did i misread something?
(at least as one is willing to upload a "not so trustworthy npk" to a MT instance...)
Actually, apart from what’s inside the NPK, the loader (which seems to be located under nova/bin), everything else from the author should be open source.
I just would like to add one thing: NIS2 ZTA
I hope MikroTik will strengthen RouterOS soon.
I see your NIS2 ZTA and add (Collins Aerospace) ARINC (c/v)MUSE.
And throw on the table also CUPPS and CUTE.
and to add to that… come on… they are really fair-priced and NOT SUBSCRIPTION based.
so no real need to pirate a ROS license anyway
would ever anyone consider cracking a cisco or juniper license for a production system? if so, blame only to oneself
Most of the things written are just bulls~~t.
Did Artificial Deficiency help you to make this collection of "mottos"?
Not because I approve of these (useless) things, but precisely because what you written is wrong.
If I generate a fake license (morality aside), I absolutely don't have to give up anything.
The system is no more or less secure than before, and nothing stops me from updating it.
I repeat, morality aside, it's all bulls~~t.
From my point of view, cracking things for free is a complete nonsense.
They're free with the devices you buy, and the levels are well-calibrated for the device you buy...
And then, unlimited CHRs already exist; even @normis explained how to do it...
All bulls~~t to me...
@spippan What I wrote was not directed at you, I don't know why the forum didn't put the arrow there...
all good 
did not associate your post to mine in that context
cheers
MikroTik licences are cheap enough that basically anyone in civilized world could afford them. Software piracy is a crime.
I have enough funds, and I would love to buy some CHR/X86 licenses, maybe even a P10, but I can't:
Unfortunately we are unable to provide requested service due to mandatory and binding regulations of the European Union, United Nations and/or USA (e.g. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)) on export control and economic sanctions against your region.
What do you propose to do? Have we suddenly become "uncivilized" because someone decided so and do you consider it normal? And if a few years pass and your country ceases to be "civilized", what will you do?
This.
Wars always make harm to innocent people. At times you find yourself on the better side of the front, at other times on the worse despite the type of war.
As Forest Gump used to say: sh*t happens.
That's all fine, but it doesn't answer my question: how do I buy a license? if I agree with the statement that piracy is illegal
If the buyer falls into restriction's rules, then offcialy it would be a problem.
