License retrieval for Line rate starter edition not possible.
Hi,
I am desperately trying to activate a starter edition of line rate.
I followed the steps on https://docs.lineratesystems.com/093Release_2.5/100Getting_Started_Guide/130Configuring_Licensing
and get stuck at the point where the actual license should be tranferred.
My Linerate system has a working IP configuration:
interface em0
mtu 1500
ip address dhcp
ip address 10.160.6.110 255.255.255.248
!
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.160.6.105
it can access activate.f5.com, asb.f5.com and login.f5.com without problems:
UNLICENSED:lr1.l4c bash "curl -v https://asb.f5.com/ 2>&1 | egrep '^(<|>)'; curl -v https://activate.f5.com/ 2>&1 | egrep '^(<|>)'; curl -v https://login.f5.com/ 2>&1 | egrep '^(<|>)'"

Activation is not possible. Neither automatic:
UNLICENSED:lr1.l4c bash "sudo tail -f /var/log/controller.messages"
May 18 05:03:52 LROS LROS: Installed license is invalid: Free Tier Only. --- trying fallback.
May 18 05:03:52 LROS LROS: INFO: base license is now inactive
May 18 05:03:59 LROS LROS: ERROR: Failed to obtain a license:
nor manual. In the latter case I get the error message on activat.f5.com after pasting in the dossier: Licensing Error: Legal Agreement checksum failed. You must accept the Agreement unaltered.
But I did not change the EULA at all.
Any clues? Cheers Christian
