You need to renew License. Connect with F5 support team for more information.
TayF5un_246984You need to get a new eval. licence for VE.

@f5_rock. Yes, but how do you apply this license key after expiration. When you are connect to the admin page, and within the License section (the only one available). In the re-activation section, under general properties, you have the old Base registration key. There is now way to apply a new base registration key if you happen to have a 2nd eval key. It could also be my problem that my second un-used val key also only has a 45 day trial and is expired even though it was never used.

When I have had to re-license expired VEs I used the CLI method as you're able to specify a new base key when requesting the dossier if the Web UI method is grayed out or the WebUI is inaccessible.

The new eval license will be your new base registration key.. You need to get this from F5 support or your sales rep. Once you have this, you can replace old reg key with new one and activate the license.

Eval license will not expire if you did not apply it to the box. How are you saying its expired??
Marcello_Costa_My license was expering in two days, I get another trial license then re-license normally by gui interface system>license>re-activate and putting the new registration key. Everything was right.
