I have an instance of f5 BIP-IP VE 10.2.4 that I am using for dev/test , which of course is a licensed instance ( during install/config , I entered base + add-on reg keys ).

 

I now need to also do some dev/test on 11.4.0 -- but I don't want to update my 10.2.4 because I still need it.

 

Is it somehow possible to run both 10.2.4 and 11.4.0 under the same license ?

just wondering if you do not need 10.2.4 and 11.4.0 at the same time, can we just install 11.4.0 in another volume (e.g. HD1.9)? since both are on the same hardware, same license is applied. please be noted that you may have to re-activate license before installing 11.4.0.
