F5 LTM License

Hi All I have an F5 BIG-IP I4200 series box with a WAF license enabled and I wanted to use the box's LTM feature. Is it possible to use LTM features without having an additional LTM license?

garten Keep in mind that when enabling LTM if it isn't already enabled will require a reboot of the device. I believe by default all F5s are licensed for a minimum of LTM and then the other license is added on top of that, in this case your WAF license.

LTM is not default, you have module only setups and those have limitations, as the document posted by Hooni_L shows. That is the best answer here.
