F5-NGINX licensing

Hi All,

I have a little confused about the NGINX Plus license as well as the F5 license. Could you please help me make it easier to understand?

- For hardware, F5 may extend 90 days from the ship date, right?

- We can specify the start date as we want when making an order, or the start date will start automatically when we receive a license or service agreement for software, right?

So my questions are:

- How do I know the ship date, is the start date on the service agreement or the date it was issued the service agreement letter?

- Can I activate the software license earlier than the start date that I was specified before?

Thanks!
