yes, you can. if you need any help, email support, we will help if any licensing issues arise.

I’d update to 3.30, do a “license update” in winbox, reboot, upgrade to 4.17, do a license update again, and it’s then ready to take 5.17. You may be able to go right to 4.17 and do a license update; I haven’t tried.
