FIPS HSM License Installation

Question

FIPS became a requirement during a recent acquisition and I need to install the FIPS licenses on several Viprions and i5800s. But I'm having difficulty finding documentation on the impact of adding the licenses. My SE doesn't believe adding the licenses will have any impact however I'd like to verify. Part numbers are F5-ADD-VPR-FB-1 for the Viprions and F5-ADD-BIG-FB-2 for the i5800s if it matters.

I'd just like to confirm if there will there be any impact other than what normally occurs when adding a license?

Haven't got any direct experience of adding HSM licenses, but I found the following two bug IDs in Bug Tracker:

Bug ID 1079053: SSH Proxy feature is not working in FIPS Licensed platforms

Bug ID 1021061: Config fails to load for large config on platform with Platform FIPS license enabled

Thanks Michael.&nbsp; Neither of those apply to us as we don't use APM and we are running a fixed version for the other bu appreciate the response.
