Hello Team,

I am currently studying F5 BIG-IP and have installed BIG-IP Virtual Edition in my EVE-NG lab for training and practice.

I tried to request a 30-day trial license through the \<a href://my.f5.com\>MyF5\</a\> portal, but the page indicates that trials are only available to existing F5 customers.

Could you please let me know if it is possible to obtain a free 30-day evaluation license for educational purposes?

I would like to practice configuring Virtual Servers, Pools, Nodes, Load Balancing, and other BIG-IP features.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,
