MikroTik RouterOS Level 6 License UEFI (L6) for x86 Systems

MikroTik RouterOS Level 6 (L6) is the highest traditional RouterOS license level for compatible x86 PC/router installations. Level 6 is officially designated by MikroTik as the Controller license and is designed for advanced routing, ISP, HotSpot, VPN, gateway and network-management applications.

This listing is intended for UEFI-capable x86 RouterOS installations. RouterOS v7 introduced UEFI boot support for x86 systems, making it suitable for many modern PC-based and industrial router platforms that use UEFI firmware.

Level 6 Controller License

RouterOS Level 6 removes several user and tunnel-count restrictions found in lower traditional RouterOS license levels. It is particularly suitable for ISP and enterprise environments that require large numbers of PPPoE, VPN or HotSpot connections.

Designed for ISP & Enterprise Routing

RouterOS provides a comprehensive networking platform for building advanced routers and gateways. Depending on the RouterOS version, installed packages and hardware capabilities, it can provide routing, firewall, NAT, VLAN, VPN, QoS, HotSpot, PPPoE, RADIUS, bandwidth management, monitoring and other networking functions.

Typical Applications

• ISP Core and Edge Routers
• PPPoE Concentrators
• HotSpot Gateways
• Enterprise Routers
• Broadband Gateways
• VPN Gateways
• Firewall and NAT Routers
• Bandwidth Management Systems
• Multi-WAN Routers
• VLAN Routing Systems
• Industrial x86 Router Appliances
• Custom PC Routers
• Network Authentication Systems

RouterOS v7 UEFI Support

UEFI boot support for x86 was introduced with RouterOS v7. This allows RouterOS to operate on compatible modern x86 systems configured to boot using UEFI firmware.

UEFI describes the system's boot method and should not be confused with the RouterOS license level. Level 6 defines the RouterOS licensing tier, while UEFI describes the supported firmware boot environment.

Important x86 Licensing Information

RouterOS x86 licensing uses a unique Software ID. MikroTik documents that the x86 Software ID is bound to the storage device's MBR. A Level 6 license is therefore intended for one licensed installation and should not be assumed to be freely transferable between arbitrary disks or installations.

Formatting or re-imaging licensed storage using ordinary non-MikroTik disk tools can destroy the license. Always follow MikroTik's supported installation and licensing procedures when reinstalling or modifying a licensed x86 RouterOS system.

Not a CHR License

RouterOS x86 Level 6 and MikroTik CHR are different licensing systems. Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) uses Free, P1, P10 and P-Unlimited licenses rather than traditional Level 4, Level 5 and Level 6 licensing.
