I'm sure they could do what most of the pay-per-month licensed software that ISP's currently use does - lock it to IP address or MAC address, or the like :) Things like WHMCS and Centovacast do that, and it works quite well (though centovacast COMPLETELY shuts down if it detects a MAC address change - which is seriously annoying. At least WHMCS leaves the customer side up, and just stops the admins from using it until the licnese is reissued) Actually sorry to go off on a tangent, but MAC addresses caused me a huge issue when I went to move my RouterOS VM to a new xenserver head last month (Sold my business, so was moving all my personal VM's to a new crazy big xenserver box I built up) - if the MAC address of an interface changes, is there a way to tell RouterOS that it's that same interface? My ether1-ether4 dissappeared, and I magically had ether5-ether8 after moving the VM - as the fastest way to 'move' was shut all VM's down and push them across the network with xenmigrate.pl, which generates new MAC addresses as it goes. I ended up just resetting the config and starting from scratch, but would be nice to know if you can 'reassign' an interface to what looks to be a new physical adapter' if I ever hit it again.. :) On 28 December 2015 at 12:55, Mike Everest <mike@duxtel.com> wrote:
Hi Patrick, all...
Comment from MT in response to my questions about it:
Currently licenses for CHR are not available for purchase. At the moment you can get any level license for CHR in 60-day trial mode. Just follow the steps of how to get the license in our wiki - http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CHR#Getting_the_License
Note that there are no license count limitation for the account.
Seems to be something different than my initial interpretation of their official statement that "full versions of CHR have been released" :-D
Possibly they have not yet figured out how to create license without capability to copy VM (licence-and-all) to another instance yet ;)
Cheers!
Mike.

In case anyone has issues activating the higher level of licenses on AWS, they have a problem which is listed as a bug. The only license level on AWS CHR is the free level for now _______________________________________________ Public mailing list Public@talk.mikrotik.com.au http://talk.mikrotik.com.au/mailman/listinfo/public_talk.mikrotik.com.au
