Save configuration (/export file=export.rsc), copy it off device. Then netinstall the device. Then factory-reset it. And then start configuring device from the factory default settings, use exported config only as reminder what has to be done (but make sure you do it according to modern configuration guidelines).

If I remember correctly..
You need to update the license somewhere in the upgrade path.
I would do this:
Upgrade to latest 3 release.
Try to update the license.
Upgrade to latest 4 release.
Upgrade to latest 5 release.
Upgrade to latest 6 release.
Update bootloader.

You can find the upgrade files in the download archive on the mikrotik site.

Note that you can't use winbox license update anymore, the URL it used isn't valid anymore.
Make a supout file and send it to the support@mikrotik and they will give you a new key for your RB.
Also last time I did this on RB600, I ended up in a bootloop somewhere after updating to v6, so had to netinstall it in the end anyway.
Might be better to just get a new license installed and at that point just neinstall latest version.
