Description
The Software License can be obtained through the Account Server at www.Wandy.nl after the
Wandy RouterOS has been installed. The Software ID of the installation is required when
obtaining the Software License. Please read the Wandy RouterOS Basic Setup Guide for detailed
explanation of the installation and licensing process.
RouterOS allows you to use all its features without registration for about one day from the first run.
During this period you must get a key, otherwise you will need to reinsall the system. A purchased
license key allows you to use RouterOS features according to the chosen license level for unlimited
time, and gives you rights to freely upgrade and downgrade its versions for the term of one year
since the key was purchased. A free registred license key (referred as a SOHO key further on)
allows you to use a restricted set of functions for unlimited period of time, but does not allows
upgrading and downgrading versions.
There are 6 licensing levels, each providing some additional features. Level 0 means that there is no
key and all the features are enabled for one day. Level 2 is a transitional license level, that allows to
use all the features were allowed by your original license key for a previus version.
Look on the website for the Software Level policy table
Note that Wireless Client and Bridge means that wireless cards can be used in station and bridge
modes. Bridge mode allows one wireless station to connect it.
