Have RB230 running 2.8 still
it works but would like to update it to new OS version.
Unlike the new 8 digit licenses it is still only 7 and has a date that says only good till oct/1/2005
from what I read it can be update .. the license can be upgraded , after I ran a net install and got it up to 3.3 or 4.17
I have tried a net install and the device gets the the BOOTP ip address but never shows up in the netinstall app .
The device is old. so Its not really worth paying for a new license.
is there a way to get an updated license key.. or should I just throw the device away?
THanx
first update your licence key.
/system licence
and click in “update licence key”
and then

I tried the update-key option and it gives an error.
