Once was a time that I thought WinBox was updated when the new dlls were downloaded. Missed a lot of new features that way.

Hi,

I have just downloaded and installed the 2.9.24 vers. and after install and reboot, MK just says that the demo license has expired, without working on single second :wink:

It’s this a known bug ? if so, any work around?

Thanks

If you’re using a demo license, you cannot upgrade, you will need to install from scratch (or buy a license)

Here is the issue..

(I just spent over 2 hrs fixing it..)

You prob have a RB5XX..
You tried to copy the files and reboot but the router did not upgrade..
You DID NOT look at the logs and see that the upgrade time had expired
(Neither did I)
You performed a NetInstall upgrade / install and selected to keep the current config..

The router did as it was told.. the Lic. showed as “expired” and the router showed a version that was installed past its installation limit and shut its self down..

Here is the fix..

Renew your license.
Store the resulting text string as a file the machine performing the reinstall.
Boot the RB5XX into “monitor” and perform an ethernet boot to connect to the netinstall server.
Point the lic. text box to the licenst file you created earlyer.
BE SURE TO SELECT “KEEP PREVIOUSE SETTINGS” CHECK BOX OR YOU WILL REGRET IT.
Perform the upgrade.

All done…

Elapsed time with all issues of connectivity etc… Over 2Hrs…

Experiance for next time and to help others who dont want to bang their head against the wall for an extended time… PRICELES…

still no bgp fixes, damn :frowning:

11

One question..

Has the RSTP and new web proxy become part of the std package set for RB5XX?

I see them stil posted for i86 but not for MIPS…

Craig

12

Craig, have you been testing out RSTP? Curious how it’s working for you if you have…

13

So what other changes has winbox undergone?

14

*) added option to WinBox to not automatically open previous session windows
works only with v2.9.24;

how to open previous session then??

EDIT: nvm, there is an option, i dun see it, sorry :stuck_out_tongue:

15

whatd do you want fixed?

16

Anyone got any feedback on the new VRRP yet? Would be excellent if that where fixed now…

17

I still can’t install 2.9.24:

  1. I did a clean local install and say that don’t keep the configuration.
  2. MT format the disk and installed correctly.
  3. After reboot, complete the install, generate the ssh keys and … demo license expired please reinstall :confused:

Any idea about ?

Thanks

18

try with netinstall please. but actually you should be using FTP to do upgrades.

19

Ahh so is this Install issue a wide spread problem? I’ve got 3 routers i cant winbox too because it crash’s but atleast they work

20

It’s not an upgrade, it’s a clean install.

I have tested with an old MT version (2.9.7) and it’s install ok…
