The question about adding Add-On Key

Hi

 

I implemented the BIG-IP 8900 LTMs and I ordered Add-On key; F5-ADD-BIG-SSL-8900, about 1 years ago.

 

The BIG-IP 8900's mission is accelerating the SSL traffic.

 

However, recelty, I found that I didn't add the Add-On key; F5-ADD-BIG-SSL-8900 at that time.

 

That is, the BIG-IP 8900 LTMs has worked using the basic license.

 

And, Now, the warranty of all BIG-IPs has ended.

 

 

If I add the Add-On keys add to the BIG-IP LTMs using the configuratio utility,

 

First, the warranty about the basic license is still ended, and the Add-On Registration Key newly count? or ended like the basic license?

 

Second, ineruption of the accelerating the SSL 3WHY be occur? and require rebooting or restarting daemons?

 

Thank you

 

Chaibin.

    Hi Nitass

     

    Thank you

     

    The last question...

     

     

    I activated the base license including add on key.

     

     

    In the bigip.license, changed to "As of 2012-10-25 there is no active service contract. This is may inhibit your ability to upgrade your software"

     

     

    No problem for SSL accrelerating??

     

     

    Thx

    That will have no effect on SSL acceleration or any other feature but as it states, you won't be able to upgrade the device's software until it's covered by an active service contract.
