BIG-IQ licence: What does "5 Instances" mean?

tmsh show /sys license
shows:

BIG-IQ, VE, Centralized Manager, 5 Instances

. Does this mean this licence is limited to managing only 5 devices?

  • A BIG-IP instance is defined as a physical BIG-IP appliance, a VIPRION chassis, a vCMP virtual instance, or a Virtual Edition instance. This includes standalone units.

     

    So, yes.

  • Yes, As of My knowledge. Its all about managing only 5 BIG-IP Instances. A BIG-IP instance is defined as a physical BIG-IP appliance, a VIPRION chassis, a vCMP virtual instance, or a Virtual Edition instance. This includes standalone units.
