    Are you able to connect via a browser to the management interface? What error do you get or what do you see when the licensing doesn't complete?

     

     

    If the admin GUI isn't working for you, can you connect to the management IP via SSH? If so, you can run:

     

     

    get_dossier -b "base key"

     

     

    replace base key with your actual base reg key. Then go to http://activate.f5.com, activate the license using the string you got from the get_dossier command and save the license file as /config/bigip.license on the LTM VE. These steps are outlined in SOL2595:
