Hi Isaiah,

 

I am assuming you have a registration key (regkey) and are trying to license the LineRate instance. If so:

 

  1. the regkey is required to acquire a license from the licensing server
  2. In order to contact the licensing server you need to ensure that LineRate has access to the internet either via one of the interfaces or a default route.

Check that you can ping to activate.f5.com using bash mode.

Once you are able to ping this site, refresh the license status using the command: license refresh base https://docs.lineratesystems.com/087Release_2.6.1/200CLI_Reference_Guide/Exec_Commands/License_Mode_Commands_(exec)

 

The getting started guide on configuring licensing may be of aid: https://docs.lineratesystems.com/087Release_2.6.1/100Getting_Started_Guide/130Configuring_Licensing
