I am looking to buy F5 VE Lab license but i didn't find any link to buy online? All i see is trial version. F5 doesn't sale key online on their website? Do i need to contact F5 support to buy license? I saw third party website selling Key but i don't trust on them..

There are a few places. Try CDW: https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/BIG-IP-Virtual-Edition-Lab-License-v.-13.X-license/3591055.aspx?pfm=srh

You need to buy it through a third party. Try this one? https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/BIG-IP-Virtual-Edition-Lab-License-v.-13.X-license/3591055.aspx?pfm=cmp /Patrik

right ... CDW won't help you if you are in UK. I've tried that route and few others. But here is the good news: give Softcat a call and they will sort it out for you. I've got 4x lab licenses now.

FYI: The DevCentral team is working on fixing this. Don't know when and don't know how, but it's a pain point for us too. -Chase

Hi Chase do you have an update please? Got a concrete case here in Switzerland that wants to buy a Lab license (as a private person) but can't on CDW (it requires an address in the USA) Thanks Alex

Is this still a problem 2 years later?

Ive filled out the form "Request a Low-Cost BIG-IP Lab License" on https://f5.com/products/trials/product-trials, a couple of times in the last couple of months and Ive never been contacted back.

EDIT: Located APAC/Australia

  Hi Anthony. I can confirm your request was received. I have reached out internally and the owner of the lead has been notified. I hope this results in feedback for you, but the sales relationship is outside our area of control.

Guys, I'm in UK. I got 4 Ve lab licenses form Softcat. Give them a call and you should get this sorted, assuming they are still doing it.
