This is the reason to care for - the activation system fail is a serious business risk for us as users.

My great surprise was license system won't produce any system logs even in debug mode, so no 'Fail to get license' or whatever error message I can supply here.Īnd, my great concern is, if I brought the paid license and tried to activate it the same way I suspect I got no luck as well, and production instance won't run as intended. I'm far from the winbox console but don't you see the same problem if you try to get trial license right now? MikroTik RouterOS can also be installed on a PC and will turn your machine into a router with all the necessary features - routing, firewall, bandwidth management, wireless access point, backhaul link, hotspot gateway, VPN server and more. At the same time, I can see IP -> DNS -> Cache contains activate server DNS record. If you want to run RouterOS on your device, you have to purchase a MikroTik router OS license. It only says 'free' license effecive, and 1 Mbit speed limit. I doubt the same problem may happen on different ROS releases (tested all branches available via update system), on different hypervisors (ESXi and KVM), on different networks in different data-centers, placed in different cities, even tried different logins to activate the license - and no luck so far.

Again - please create a supout.rif file and send it to us via so we can properly investigate this.
