Reading the FAQ on licencing it looks like I should be able to extend my current level 3 licence. However, looking at the licencing website I can’t see where I can do this - the only option appears to be an upgrade to level 4. Any pointers?

Call the distributor you ordered the license from. They should be able to renew the license. You can go through another distributor, but they have to jump through hoops to get you an updated license. The whole licensing is kind of puzzeling to me, I believe it should be centralized through mikrotik… At least that would make it easier to renew/upgrade expired licenses.
anyway, hope that helps…
This one was bought direct from MT. Guess I need to drop Sales a line.

Read this first:

Yes I’ve read that. What I can’t find is how I actually use the licensing website to extend the licence. If I select ‘Work with existing keys’ I only get the upgrade option even though the existing key hasn’t expired.

how to purchase a new key? simply log in and click on purchase a new key. upgrade from L3 to L4 is not possible, as the wiki says. You need to purchase a new key (the wiki also says that)
No. How to extend an existing key. Wiki says that provided my existing key has not expired I can extend it for $15.

andrew, send your SoftID to support, we will check why
Hi Andrew
You need to upgrade your router to a version higher than 2.9.10 I think to get the L4 features on an L3 licence.
i think he simply wants to extend the upgrade time of L3
rereading his question I think you are right 
Hi Harvey, haven’t heard much from you since Prague.
Normis has grasped what I’m after. I can’t login to the account server at the moment though. It just hangs.

Thanks Normunds.
This is possible on the account server, you just have to ignore the fact that the option to upgrade to level 4 is selected. Just extend the licence using the drop-down box and click submit.
