hi there!

we have level 5 ros on pc x86, on HDD. the router is 4 years old, license originally 2.8.xx, now 3.7 updated step by step through the years...

after several years faithful service now our HDD is going to die. terrible noise, often stops, restarts and so on are a part of symptoms that predict the end of the drive.

and now, the question is: can we use same license on different drive CF/HDD or not. And if yes, how.

thank you very much all

you may send your hdd to MikroTik, they give you another license for $15, as far as I remember =)

maybe i have to contact support first?
does anybody do that?

of course contact support first =)
don't think they will be happy to see unknown hdds in their postbox =)

yes, contact support at mikrotik.com if you have not don that already with good explanation of the situation.
