Proper way of installing mikrotik guest

Post by andronikus »

Hi,

Couldnt find on forum this problem, when install mikrotik everything goes well but after reboot, it says demo licence expired please reinstall.
Whe install mikrotik you must reboot it so it can generate SSH keys generate basic config but right after install it says demo license expired.

Does this happen on a real machine or only in a VM? have you asked mikrotik about this?

I tried several versions of MikroTik. MT has HardwareID protection, may this be a problem, maybe virtual HDD is changing its ID every boot or something similar?
PLS help, I have 6 desktop PC-s working as routers but I can make all that in one box :), electric bill is killing me :)

You will have to ask the producers, maybe they can test this in their own lab and come up with a VM solution.
