CHR License P1 - Invalid Cloud ??

Tue Nov 14, 2023 8:21 pm

CHR: Why if the license block in SYSTEM shows P1 and yet in the IP CLOUD menu there is the warning in red:

CHR trial licence expired

NOTE in DOCS

P1 (perpetual-1) license level allows CHR to run indefinitely. It is limited to 1Gbps upload per interface. All the rest of the features provided by CHR are available without restrictions.

Seems it can be related with v7 because i have few instances at v6 and no expire error on them, all fine. But one CHR v7 with P1 showing same error.
Can you check license deadline?

Ahh reading this ......... seems to indicate its a manual perpetual thing LOL.
CHR License Levels

License levels described until now do not apply to Cloud Hosted Routers (CHRs). CHR is a RouterOS version intended for running as a virtual machine. It has its own 4 license levels as well as trial where you can test any of the paid license levels for 60 days.

60-day free trial license is available for all paid license levels. To get the free trial license, you have to have an account on MikroTik.com as all license management is done there.

Perpetual is a lifetime license (buy once, use forever). It is possible to transfer a perpetual license to another CHR instance. A running CHR instance will indicate the time when it has to access the account server to renew it's license. If the CHR instance will not be able to renew the license it will behave as if the trial period has ran out and will not allow an upgrade of RouterOS to a newer version.

After licensing a running trial system, you must manually run the /system license renew command from the CHR to make it active. Otherwise the system will not know you have licensed it in your account. If you do not do this before the system deadline time, the trial will end and you will have to do a complete fresh CHR installation, request a new trial and then license it with the license you had obtained.
