From ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.0
Dear all,
I got a license and I've istalled BIG-IP in an ESXi 4.1. I've configured everything and it worked great.
In my company we migrated from ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.0. To keep mi BIG-IP, I exported this into a OVA file when was installed in ESXi 4.1, we migrated to ESXi 5.0, and I imported this OVA file.
The problem is this: When I turned up BIG-IP VE 11.2 in ESXi 5.0, it seem it "lost" the license. Prompt before was "root@bigip:Active" and now is "root@bigip:ModuleNotLicensed:LICENSE INOPERATIVE:Standalone".
Why did it happen?
What I need to do to get BIG-IP working like before?
Kind regards to all.

I do not know if it is the correct way to do that, but they replied me very fast and they resolved this issue. yes, it is. we have to contact f5 support team in case if unit serial number is changed e.g. rma, moving esx host.
