It seems like your license key have both GTM and LTM, but this doesn't restrict your BigIP to behave as GTM over LTM or vice-versa. If you would like to use as LTM only, I would advise to disable GTM provisioning. Normally, LTM and GTM licenses are charged seperately but you can confirm with F5.

Thanks, that is the weird part... we pay for F5-BIG-LTM-4000S which suppose to be: BIG-IP SWITCH: LOCAL TRAFFIC MANAGER 4000S (16GB MEM, MAX SSL, MAX HW COMP)(HW MODEL 4000) Yet, the GTM appears with a nominal license. We want to use the GTM but I wonder if it's going to be supported if we didn't pay for it. I'll give a call to F5 support to see what they say.
