license dependancy for the virtual F5 device.

Folks, We have been hearing that there are some licensing dependencies for the virtual F5 device when it comes to deploying them on hosts in the vCentre. What I want to know if the F5 VE is deployed in a vCentre and then it moves from host to host due to vMotion will it make a difference to the working of the F5 VE?

 

Another question is that if we installed the F5 VE on one vCentre and them move it to another vCentre(through snapshot or something, or transfer the license) will it work?

 

Thanks!! N.

    License is tied to vmid. whatever the mechanism if that change the VMid the license with drop.

     

    note that we added support of vmotion in v12.1 : link text Support for VMware vMotion

     

    You can now live migrate BIG-IP VE instances between VMware hosts.
