Setup guide

When upgrading to 2.8, you can update your existing key for version 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7 for free (during
the existing key upgrade term) during the three-day demonstration period either manually on our
accounting server or with a console or WinBox command. This three-day term allows you to use all
the existing key. There is also a possibility in 2.8 version to upgrade your key (i.e. to extend
licensing term) from the console or WinBox.
Note that the license is kept on hard drive. You can move the hard drive to another system, but you
can not move license on another hard drive. License transfer to another drive is a paid service
(unless your hard drive has crashed). Please contact [e-mail] to arrange this. Also
note that you must not use MS-DOS format or fdisk utilities or you may loose the license.
Important: the abovementioned limits depict the limits enforced by the license. The actual number
of concurrent tunnels, rules, queues, users, etc. will vary depending the combination of features
used and the load they place on the Wandy RouterOS.
License Management
system license
Description
There are three methods of entering a key to the system console:
• import a file that should be sent to you after you will require a key (you should upload this file
to the router's FTP server)
• set the key property in the /system license submenu
• simply copy the received key as a text and paste (or type) in to the router's console (no matter
in which submenu)
These methods also apply to WinBox, with the difference that key importing and exporting is
happening through the Windows host PC itself. The options available:
• Paste Key - get a new license from the Windows Clipboard
• Import Key - get a new license from a file stored locally on the Windows PC
• Export Key - save the existing license as a file on the Windows PC
• Upgrade/Get New Key - the same as new-upgrade-key command in system console
• Update Key - the same as update-key command in system console
