Cloud Hosted Router (CHR) is a RouterOS version intended for running as a virtual machine. It supports the x86 64-bit architecture and can be used on most of the popular hypervisors such as VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, KVM and others. CHR has full RouterOS features enabled by default but has a different licensing model than other RouterOS versions.
Minimal requirements:
• 64bit CPU with virtualisation support
• 128 MB or more RAM for the CHR instance
• 128 MB disk space for the CHR virtual hard drive
CHR has been tested on the following platforms:
• VirtualBox 5 on Linux and OS X
• VMWare Fusion 7 and 8 on OS X
• Qemu 2.4.0.1 on OS X
• Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012
Note: Minimal requirement is 128MB of RAM to complete the self-installation process.
Perpetual is a lifetime license (buy once, use forever). It is possible to transfer a perpetual license to another CHR instance.
