RouterOS General

Hello,

I found a strange file on my router.

xxxx-xxxx.key with following content:

SoftwareID: KCFM-GF89
-----BEGIN MIKROTIK SOFTWARE KEY------------
...
-----END MIKROTIK SOFTWARE KEY--------------

For what is this file used?

Why was it created?

Normally you couldn’t see this file in RB, its your software license key file.

Ok, thx.

It seems that when I click to System/License and then to “paste key” (if no key can be pasted because the cache is empty) the file will be created.
