No one has investigated, that I know of, the ability to reinstall RouterOS on a MikroTik device. I've not researched sufficiently to know if the RouterOS license must be saved on a device prior to overwriting flash with AREDN firmware. The instructions to save this license is documented on the OpenWrt common Mikrotik procedures page:

https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/common

Anyone tried to reload RouterOS and had success/failure?

Yup

Works fine. Just use Netinstall as normal. The license it comes with is unaffected. Ian

I can second that

sort of... it was not AREDN firmware, but I have gone back and forth between OpenWRT and RouterOS on an old RouterBoard 450G. I never saved the RouterOS license info, I learned about doing that after the fact, but never had any issues anyways so forgot about it.
