If a license has expired is there a way to renew it? Or do we request another license? Only lasted 30 days when it mentioned 45 days. Thanks

Hello James,

You will need to request another license. I think the license team changed the trial licenses recently to 30 days.

Thanks!

[James_Yeo]

​Thanks! I did that. Revoked. Added new and all up and running 🙂 Config was untouched and just re-provisioned.

I have the VM installed but when I am trying to access the Big IP fro my Chrome Browser in Mac, Its not allowing me to connect anyway post invalid cert error..

Please help me how to resolve this.

This sounds like you just need to type "thisisunsafe" to pass the invalid cert issue. See this video on how to do https://youtu.be/7J3vSN3pCjI or use a different internet browser.

Hi,
Just a quick question. I successfully installed both BigIQ and BigIP on my esxi.
I applied and activated the license of BiqIQ and then put the license of BigIP on license management of BigIQ to be assigned to my BigIP vms.
When i try to assign and activate the license to BigIP via BigIQ i got an error.

Error on server request

    The system returned an unexpected error (400 Bad Request). Unable to contact 192.168.100.101. Please check the provided credentials.

No problem on the network connection and credentials as i can login to BigIP via gui and ssh. Is this feature supported on VE Trial License? If not can i request to revoke the assigned trial license to me so that i can redo my lab. Thanks.

Dear Roman, 

I am working on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure which uses .qcow2. 

Can use the Openstack option for the VE instance?
