Yes but that is the difference between suitable for some time
vs being sold off as no longer up to it but could be coaxed
into coping and harder to get support..

QR does run flexroute, that's how I was able to tell
you FIB is about 50% on full table with it.

You should have a license but it is not keyed and they probably
won't sell one now (it'd cost more than the box too).

As a gateway box to buying new models they are great value.
