How to get a F5 BIG-IP VE Developer Lab License

@CAbbott My last order on 06/06/2016 was definitely personal. The one before that, may have been with my corporate account but still using a credit card. I cant find that receipt.

I have contacted Sean Conway, from the WeaverJK post in this thread, and got a reply from him within 30 minutes. You will need to fill out a new customer form, and a credit card payment form (both PDFs that will delivered via email), but he claims licenses within 72 hours. I will probably ditch my CDW quote and go that route. I will be buying the longest support contract available so I don't have to go through this again anytime soon.

I have also contacted my account team about this. He suggested giving SHI.COM a try, an sent this link: https://www.shi.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?SHISystemID=ShiCommodity&ProductIdentity=37718336. There is no quote button when I opened it, BUT you need to be a customer. I filled out the required "contact us" link and submitted my request to be added. Tried to call to speed things up but was directed back to the "contact us" link and wait for a contact rep to email or call.

I am torn between waiting for SHI.COM to see if a standard purchasing method will work, or staying with the email contact just to get it done. The issue I had with the SHI link is that I couldn't find a service contract link to extend the license to give me 3 years of updates.

Will update with my experience. I may buy from both.

P.S. I just heard back again from the Adapture rep Sean Conway regarding an adjustment to the quote for my purchase. So essentially, from initial contact and two quotes 1 hours passed. This is great, but he is doing this on his own and this isn't company policy. I let him know that I have christened him St Sean.
