F5 Licenses

Hi!,

 

 

I need to know when the licenses expire F5 equipment, is there a command to indicate when they finish?

 

 

 

Regards

    product license is not expired.

     

     

    anyway, upgrading software requires service check date verification.

     

     

    sol7727: A service check date that is earlier than the license check date now requires you to relicense the system before upgrading

    for command, can you try "tmsh show sys license"?

    Ok, much better.

     

     

    Yes, I tried that command of TMOS, but of course, is not listed expiration date.

     

     

    Thank you again!

    i guess you are using production license. this is my evaluation one. 

    [root@ve1023:Active] config  tmsh show sys license|grep -i date
License Start Date  2011/12/03
License End Date    2012/01/04
Service Check Date  2011/12/04

    A production license does not expire. However, the key for most users is the Service Check Date. This is the date that is tied to service and support. If you have a 1yr agreement, then 1yr after the service check date, you will no longer be able to upgrade the device (hardware or virtual). Hotfixes will still work, however.
