Hey Chase!

 

A splendid article.

 

Just provisioned my first isolated BIG-IP with these instructions.

 

Does the bigip.license accept the response in this format?

 

The line breaks ( \n ) in the JSON license response appeared to cause problem while licensing the BIG-IP.

 

I overcame the problem with some sed magic, as I copied the licenses part to json-license.json file:

 

sed 's/\[tn]/\

 

/g' json-license.json
