RouterOS License on VMware Worksation

Tue May 08, 2012 12:58 pm

Hi,
I know that my question seems to be very silly, but I would be very appreciated if anyone give me a clue. I have one L4 RouterOS license & I want to use it for installing an X86 RouterOS 5.15 on VMware Workstation6.5 just for my own laboratory tests. But I'm so afraid that I will enforce to reinstall VMware and then lost my license key! :(
Is there any way to save my license for using on new another installation of VMware?

Thanks in advance.

No, you need to use the same image. Each different installation needs a new license

Thanks normis, but what do you exactly mean of "same image"?

By image, he means the virtual machine you install the license on. Just be sure to back up the virtual machine so that way if the virtual machine/virtual disk is corrupt in some way you can just revert back to the original state.
