Please correct me if I am mistaken but If I order 4 BIG-IP LTMs & 2 GTM licenses, the GTM licenses are add ins. When licensing, the dossier which is sent to F5 contains the add-ins so F5 can validate that I have only installed the GTM licenses on 2 of the LTM's. To move the GTM licenses as llm32514 wishes, F5 has to reauthorize the use of the add-in licenses on the new device. Even if I re-validate the license for the BIG-IP LTMs without the GTM add-in, F5 will not automatically see that the license has been removed from use so that it can be used in a different device.
