CirrusAbout perpetual license expiry In WAF
Hi Expert,
Can the Attack Signatures be updated automatically after the perpetual license expiry ?
Hi SanYang
A perpetual license for BIG-IP (including ASM/Advanced WAF) does not expire, so the core features of the product will continue to function. However, access to software updates including attack signature updates requires an active support contract (such as F5 support maintenance or software subscription). If your support contract expires, you will not be able to download or automatically update new attack signatures. The system will continue to use the last set of signatures that were installed before the support contract expired, but it will not receive new or updated signatures automatically or manually after that point.
