VE license for 10.2.0?

Hi. I'm the product manager for the LTM Virtual Edition. I'm glad to see such enthusiasm around the trial version. That was the whole point of releasing it.

 

 

I want to try to clear this up. We're not taking the trial away and we have no plans to do that. You can continue to get a 90 day key to trial 10.1 at www. f5.com/trial.

 

 

But our thinking was that since 10.2 is mostly minor bug fixes and enhancements, there was no need to spin a new trial version on that code base. Hamish - 10.2 does not give you ACA on VE either. It's still just base LTM. We'll have to fix that in a future release.

 

 

Qe is on track when he says "I suspect that 10.1.0 LTM and 10.2.0 LTM don't differ to the point where a bandwidth restricted trial of 10.2.0 would net anyone a lot."

 

 

When we have our next major release, you can bet that we'll release a new trial. At that point there will be lots of new functionality that we want to get in to your hands.

 

 

If our thinking on this is wrong, I want to know. Is there some functionality you need in a 10.2 trial that you can't get in 10.1?

 

 

Thanks.
