If you are looking for RouterOS capabilities without high costs, MikroTik provides several safe, official avenues:
: You can install RouterOS on any x86 machine and use it with full functionality for a 24-hour trial period (total uptime) before a license is required.
: Many entry-level MikroTik devices (like the hAP lite) come with a permanent Level 4 license included in the price, which is often cheaper than the risk of a cyberattack.
: RouterOS licenses are verified against the unique hardware ID. A "key" generated for one device will not work on another.
