Let’s assume your hardware has changed (you replaced a drive) and RouterOS now shows a new Software ID. Your previously activated license is now showing as "Unregistered" or "Trial." Here is how to fix it by changing the linked ID.
You cannot simply change the Software ID on a whim. It is not a configuration variable in a text file. It changes only when the underlying hardware changes. Common scenarios requiring a "change" include: mikrotik change software id link
node server.js
If your Software ID has changed (e.g., due to a drive failure), you generally cannot "link" the old license yourself. You must contact MikroTik Support to request a .

Remember, for official MikroTik RouterBOARD hardware (RB, CCR, CRS series), you will never need to perform this process. For CHR and x86 users, mastering the re-host workflow is essential for disaster recovery.
