Why did I get GTM, AAM license with the box when I buy only LTM license?
Dear All,
I would like to ask about licensing of BIG-IP. I have bought a new BIG-IP system with LTM and Routing Bundle license, but after I activated license I got a few more like GTM, AAM, ... . And now I want to use GTM, but I don't how long can use it? Is it a trial license or what?
Thanks you!
Regards, Phaneath

Perhaps your bundle is including modules that you mention.
Try to do 'show sys licence' at tmsh to see what modules are available.
Those available modules are there for you to use.

Hello nwputra,
Thanks for your reply.
when I issue command 'tmsh show sys license' it shown as below:
Licensed Version 11.5.4 Registration key Licensed On 2016/07/07 Service Check Date 2016/07/07 Platform ID C112 Appliance Serial Number Active Modules GTM-DNS, Rate Limited, LO, BIG-IP (AAXAQYE-HWSESSJ) DNS Rate Fallback, 50 GTM Rate Fallback, 8 DNS Licensed Objects, 0 GTM Rate, 8 DNS Rate Limit, 50 QPS GTM Licensed Objects, 0 LTM, Base, 2000S (QYZDMDP-QRLOFDC) Application Acceleration Manager, Core IPV6 Gateway Rate Shaping Ram Cache Anti-Virus Checks Base Endpoint Security Checks Firewall Checks Network Access Secure Virtual Keyboard APM, Web Application Machine Certificate Checks Protected Workspace Remote Desktop App Tunnel SSL, 2000S Routing Bundle (IRHWSHO-DLCEYGT)So, I want to know that can I use GTM module license on my current box or not? And if yes, is it a permanent license or just for temporary like a Evaluation Product Module? Regards, **_Phaneath_**

I see that you have GTM with limited capability. Though it has no licence expiration, which means you can use it permanently. But, since the limit is there, you need to see if this good enough for your purpose.
Here is example Licence which has limited time :
Sys::License Licensed Version 12.0.0 Registration key YREZI-YLMOG-BPVJK-WTLDS-XXXXXXX Licensed On 2016/10/26 License Start Date 2016/10/25 License End Date 2016/12/11 Service Check Date 2016/10/25 Platform ID Z100k Active Modules BIG-IP, LAB(LTM,AFM,APM,ASM,AM, DNS, PSM,GTM),VE (GJUZQYY-MNEXDMP) IPV6 Gateway Rate Shaping Ram Cache . . . DNS Rate Fallback, Unlimited DNS Licensed Objects, Unlimited DNS Rate Limit, Unlimited QPS - Phaneath_Phour1

Dont worry about getting GTM license along with new box but this comes with limited functionality. Consider buying the license for GTM if you are planning to use it for an enterprise env.
