Technical Overview
RouterOS Level 6 is the highest and most powerful RouterOS license available. It removes every restriction — unlimited PPPoE tunnels, unlimited HotSpot users, unlimited VPN sessions, and unlimited User Manager billing sessions. No subscriber caps, no connection limits, no scaling concerns. Level 6 is the license of choice for large ISPs, WISPs, enterprises, data centres, and network engineers who need RouterOS to scale without boundaries, and is also the recommended license for x86-based router builds where growth is unpredictable.

Who Should Buy This License
- Large ISPs and WISPs serving hundreds or thousands of PPPoE subscribers
- Enterprise and campus networks requiring unlimited VPN and firewall capacity
- Network engineers deploying RouterOS on x86 hardware or cloud VMs
- Data centres using RouterOS as a core routing and firewall platform
- IT solution providers building multi-tenant or wholesale ISP infrastructure
- Organisations that need a future-proof license with zero growth restrictions
If your device only serves a single access point or branch link, Level 6 is likely more than you need — see Level 4 and Level 5 instead.
Software ID — Why We Need It
Every RouterOS installation generates a unique Software ID, permanently bound to the license key issued against it. The Buy button opens a popup requesting this Software ID before checkout. Given the production stakes at this tier, we strongly recommend copy-pasting it rather than retyping — see the Software ID Guide. Our team manually cross-checks every Software ID before issuing a Level 6 key.

No. RouterOS Level 6 is a lifetime license. Once activated, it never expires and includes free RouterOS software updates forever.
What’s the difference between RouterOS Level 6 and CHR P-Unlimited?

Yes. A proper GST tax invoice is provided with every purchase, suitable for large business expense claims and GST input credit.
Can a Level 6 license be transferred to another device?
RouterOS licenses are bound to the device’s storage. In the case of hardware failure, MikroTik may issue a replacement key for x86 devices — contact us for guidance on replacement key procedures.
Do you offer bulk pricing for multiple Level 6 licenses?
Yes, we offer special pricing for bulk orders. Contact our support team for a customised quote for your ISP or enterprise deployment.
