AltocumulusF5 VE keeps to restart after activation with trial keys
I created F5 VE LTM VMs with template f5_ve_standalone_3_nic.yaml. It looks work as two self IPs can ping other IPs in the networks. However after activating VMs with trial keys, they starts to continuously restart tmm. The status on the top left area on GUI has been switching btween Active and Offline. The self ips won't be ping other IPs in the networks. I requested trial key from https://www.f5.com/trial/secure/generate-eval-key.php, and used image 12.1.2 and image 11.6.0. Can any one help? Thanks.

manually run the command in VM for downloading and patching image, and register the os ready image manually
The cause is that I used trial key with 90 days.
There are three trial keys on https://f5.com/products/trials/product-trials. Even if the key with 90 days includes LTM, we have to use trial key with 30 days.
