Can I somehow instal a newer OS then 4.0rc1 on my RB532?

Mon Mar 14, 2016 12:03 am

Hello.
For educational purposes I have bought a second-hand RB532 (the note on the board says, that it is v5). I'm tying to update its system as high as possible. I have ound in the Iinternet, that even the latest versions should work. Unfortunatelly...
My system now says:
[admin@RB532] > /system license print
    software-id: "I66H-34V9"
  upgradable-to: v3.x
         nlevel: 4
       features: 
I have managed to find ROS 4.0rc1 and it was installed and seems to work. But I cannot get any higher. OK, the note above clearly says, that "upgradable-to: v3.x". But is it possible to somehow make it higher? Maybe it is possible to, for instance, buy a new license (for a reasonable pice, which now should be close to 0 to be reasonable, but...)? Or anything other than buying brand new router?

You should be able to go up to 6.32.4. Perhaps Update Licence Key button in Licence window would help? If not, then Netinstall should be the sure way.

Thanks for response. I tried the "Update License" key, but it did not change the "updatable-to" field. It was on 2.59 version. Then I updated to 3.30 (even later to 4.0rc1) but the key does not work anymore. It only results in "License is already updated" message.

[edit]
I have succesfully managed to update the firmware using netinstall. Now I'm on 6.32.4. Seems to work fine - with one minor exception - the main webpage is outdated and in order to get to WebFig, I need to type the address manually in the browser. But this is a marginal problem.
