Software key update problem

Hello

i am trying to update RB532 from 3.30 but was not possible so i dongrad to 3.17 now i have problem with license
and software key update not working it says “Your account is disabled for netinstall use”

pls help me what can i do ?

edit
ok i am back on 3.30 but cant update tried 4.0 or 4.17
but still have problem “Your account is disabled for netinstall use” how to enable ?

If updating license key does not work (and you need it, because 4.x and newer require license for new 8-charaters software ID), you’ll probably have to contact support for help.

ok now its updating (problem was i dont have enabled in account)
it says (storage) but license upgradable to v3.x lvl4
license key is already up to date

its RB532 it shuld be possible to update no?

RB532 can go up to some 6.x version (I’m not exactly sure which one). I recently upgraded two RB133s (with same CPU family) and 3.30 allowed upgrade to 4.x (and 4.17 to either 5.x or 6.x, I’m not sure, I stopped at 5.26). But even if yours says only 3.x, as long as you have new key, netinstall should be able to install anything newer.

i found this RB532 which are still well supported by 6.32.3.

netinstall over ethernet ? i run netinstall but cant see RB
i dont have COM port cable


how to do it ?

edit:
ok i am now on 4.0.rc1 license says upgradable to v3.x

For netinstall, router must try to boot from network and by default it doesn’t do that.

It might be possible to force it to do it by holding reset button when you power it up, but I’m not sure if it applies the same way to all models.

But you still have running system, so you can also change System->Routerboard->Settings->Boot Device to try-ethernet-once-then-nand. If it still doesn’t work, use only direct ethernet cable between PC and RB, and have only one network interface active (disable others).

And don’t mess with 4.0 rc1 and such, it won’t get you anywhere.

ok i made this

System->Routerboard->Settings->Boot Device to try-ethernet-once-then-nand.
connect directly to pc<>rb532
and setup in netinstall boot server enable ip address of RB
and i get this error
netinstall.JPG

I’m affraid I might be out of ideas…

another version of netinstall (3.30) without error but any way wont update

I try it tomorrow

Other version of netinstall is good idea. I’d try 4.17 or 5.26 (and same RouterOS version), that could perhaps work and hopefully also do something with “upgradable to” value. If everything fails, try asking support.

its working
i used com port cable on pc in work :smiley:
netinstall 4.17 + routeros 4.17

routeros 4.17 → 5.x → 6.32.3
