This license has already been activated on a different unit. Please contact technical support for assistance

I'm researching the BigIP LTM for a new job I just landed. I had previously activated the BigIP 11.x LTM VE Trial Edition. However, I had had an issue with trying to get it to run with VMWare Player....

Hi Chris,

 

There's really not an easy way around this one. You basically have three options:

 

  1. Call technical support, and explain the situation. They might clear the activation for you.

     

  2. Simply request another trial. https://www.f5.com/trial/

     

  3. Buy a 10 Mbit VE license, we made it $100 recently. A quick google search showed that CDW is selling it directly. http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/BIG-IP-Virtual-Edition-license/2527863.aspx

     

Best of luck :)
