F5 virtual edition license issue.

[Militza]

Getting mulitple error as "Bandwidth utilization is 1083 Mbps, exceeded 75% of Licensed 10000 Mbps" after that we upgrade the F5 VE license to 3Gbps even after license upgrade getting same error.

Bandwidth utilization is 1083 Mbps, exceeded 75% of Licensed 1000 Mbps
Bandwidth utilization is 854 Mbps, exceeded 75% of Licensed 1000 Mbps
Bandwidth utilization is 989 Mbps, exceeded 75% of Licensed 1000 Mbps
Bandwidth utilization is 946 Mbps, exceeded 75% of Licensed 1000 Mbps

If you have any suggestions on it would be appreciated.

Looks like you didn't actually apply the reg code, re-activate license, and restart services. Error logs show you still have 1GB license in play.

As i can check from cli license is upgraded but still getting same bandwidth exceeded logs.

# show /sys license detail | grep perf_VE_throughput_Mbps
perf_VE_throughput_Mbps [3000]

Gui also showing 3 Gbps.

I pushed that license from BIGIQ.

[Militza]

that article suggestion disable the promiscuous mode or need to upgrade the license and we have already upgrade the license 1Gbps to 3Gbps but getting same bandwidth exceeded logs for  Licensed 10000 Mbps that is the issue even after upgrade to 3Gbps.Should we restart the device?

vCPU limits wihile upgrading. 

[Militza]

I do not think vCPU is causing this issue.

After you re-activated license on the unit, with the license code that was provided, have you tried rebooting? Issue a full_box_reboot command.

Hello,

Can you check on whether the license is upgraded or not?

To display the maximum allowed throughput rate, type the following command:

#show /sys license detail | grep perf_VE_throughput_Mbps

Referenece: https://wtit.com/f5-resources/big-ip-ve-system-enforces-licensed-throughput-rate/

Also, you can check by asking F5 using the below link, and F5 will provide you with detailed information related to your new key.
