I should create a test chr that I will provide to various people. I was thinking of using a proxmox backup. the aim would be to test the configuration to understand if there may be bugs or improvements to fix. these people will not have access to winbox, but only to webfig with limited skin. How would you handle this? if you use proxmox backups would I have an overlap in licenses? or would each chr take on a different id? people will receive a Google drive link so they can download the image to install the chr. how to do?
If you’re looking to evaluate CHR/ROS, you can use the free, unlicensed version which is limited to 1 Mbps but otherwise has full functionality.
if I did this I would have to give the user the opportunity to enter the license data. it would be curious to understand if I put the same proxmox backup on various devices what happens to the license
You don’t need a license key for the free version of CHR. Just download and install, that’s all.
You can also activate the license once if you have a Mikrotik account. Once activated you’ll have upgrades for 60 days. After the trial period you’ll no longer have updates but neither will you be limited to 1Mpbs
You will have to have an account registered on MikroTik.com. Then you can request the desired license level for trial from your router that will assign your router ID to your account and enable a purchase of the license from your account. All the paid license equivalents are available for trial. A trial period is 60 days from the day of acquisition, after this time passes, your license menu will start to show “Limited upgrades”, which means that RouterOS can no longer be upgraded.
