MikroTik CHR has full RouterOS features enabled by default but has a different licensing model based on upload bandwidth than other RouterOS versions.In my trainings I use Unetlab environment. It supports both x86 and 64-bit architecture and can be used on most of the popular hypervisors such as VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM and others. MikroTik Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) and License MikroTik CHR is a RouterOS version aimed for running as a virtual machine. In this article, I will discuss how to install MikroTik Cloud Hosted Router on VMware Workstation properly with step by step guide. So, MikroTik CHR is so helpful to trainee and RND user. MikroTik CHR has full RouterOS packages and can be used free with bandwidth limitation. From RouterOS v6.34, MikroTik introduces Cloud Hosted Router (CHR, a new RouterOS version) which has different licensing scheme. So, RouterOS application is not suitable for the Trainee or not suitable to RND purpose. Full RouterOS packages cannot be used more than 24 hours without license. RouterOS installation on Physical or Virtual Machine has license limitations. MikroTik is found both RouterBoard where RouterOS and License are prebuilt and RouterOS Application that can be installed on a Physical Machine or Virtual Machine.
