F5 VE LTM Trial to Production

Hi all, as we are still pending the approval of the F5 VE LTM license purchase.

 

Is it possible to start deploying the F5 VE LTM evaluation first ? Once we got the license, can I just input the license key without affecting the configuration ? Is it possible to get the F5 LTM version 12 ova file ?

    do you mean the trial version download or with a trial key from an F5 employee? the download trial is quite different, that probably won't be able to be licensed normally.

    Once we got the license, can I just input the license key without affecting the configuration?

    not 100% sure, from past questions we were told it wasn't possible to "upgrade" a lower Mbps VE license to a higher one. perhaps a trial license is exception here. but in any case you could create a config backup and restore it on a new instance without the license so it takes some more work but you config isn't lost.

    Is it possible to get the F5 LTM version 12 ova file ?

    yes it is if you have access to the F5 downloads site.
