  • No licence is required for this model. I wouldn’t give away something that needed a shitty licence without mentioning it (but then I probably wouldn’t have taken it for myself in the first place).

    I made that mistake with an Infobox device at an auction a few years ago. You can use all functionality for 30 days, then after that you need a licence or NOTHING works and you have to wipe it all and start again. What a pile of shit, I only wanted to play with it and run a few DNS zones.

    It’s a shame, I was hoping to learn something from it as they cost a fortune, and usually overkill for what I need, but instead i’m never going to recommend their products. I could open it up and see if I can run Linux on it, but I don’t need yet another device that runs bog-standard Linux - any boring hardware could be used for that purpose. 😞
