Hi Isaiah,

 

Please run this command in bash mode:

 

ping activate.f5.com

 

If you are still have trouble resolving activate.f5.com, please ensure that your interface has access to the internet.

 

In the meantime you may manually install a license using the instruction at step 9 at this docs link: https://docs.lineratesystems.com/087Release_2.6.1/100Getting_Started_Guide/130Configuring_LicensingActivating_a_Starter_Edition_License

 

Regarding ports to open on your firewall, 443 is enough to license the LineRate system. You do not need to open port 8443 unless you are going to be accessing the LineRate system from outside of your corporate network.

 

Can you please clarify what type of license you are trying to acquire: starter (free) or paid?

 

Regards Madhu
