I downloaded the CD image and was going to buy the license from Eje, but I couldn't get it to load on my box. Eje is great - spent a lot of time with me on the phone before I downloaded it walking me through the setup. But I haven't been able to get in touch with him since I had the problem - with the new baby and all, I think he may have been away from the office this week. I will keep trying to contact him. I haven't given up on it yet, just got frustrated when the software wouldn't load and I couldn't get in touch with Eje. I checked MikroTik's web site and all I found that might relate to my problem was "CD software not work on some hardware. Replace hardware." I know the motherboard is good. I wasn't trying to use the free demo version, this was the full version which I am going to buy from Eje if I can get it loaded to the point of asking me for the license key.
