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. Otherwise the system will not know you have licensed it in your account. 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.Īfter licensing a running trial system, you must manually run the /system license renew command from the CHR to make it active. A running CHR instance will indicate the time when it has to access the account server to renew it’s license. It is possible to transfer a perpetual license to another CHR instance.

Perpetual is a lifetime license (buy once, use forever). To get the free trial license, you have to have an account on as all license management is done there. It has its own 4 license levels as well as trial where you can test any of the paid license levels for 60 days.Ħ0-day free trial license is available for all paid license levels. CHR is a RouterOS version intended for running as a virtual machine. License levels described until now do not apply to Cloud Hosted Routers (CHRs).

never expire (a running and licensed router can be used indefinitely).
