License Revocation Limits?
I am planning to use some permanent lab licensed in a dynamic deployment environment. This means when the current session is finished I will tear down the infra and userevoke /sys license for the license key. So it can be used on next deployment. This plan heavily depends on the fact there is no limits to license revocation. Is anyone aware of restrictions on revocation and reuse of lab licenses?
Version Plus, Upgrades and Support Contract?
Hi, I'm trying to figure out the Version Plus licensing scheme, but I'm getting mixed information from F5 partners. Say I buy now a -V18 Version Plus P/N, but also assign a support contract to it. When version 19 is releases, will I be able to upgrade if I have active contract, or do I need to re-buy everything? Thanks
aWAF DOS Protection Licensing
Hi everybody! I have a question most probably related to aWAF VE licensing (I am not completely sure whether the root cause is related to licensing but looks like this is the most probable reason for my issue). I am trying to configure DoS protection for applications according to the guide below and I am not able to find "Application Security" tab in protection profile: https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/bigip-14-1-0/big-ip-asm-implementations-14-1-0/preventing-dos-attacks-on-applications.html#GUID-FEA647E5-53C1-45B5-A6A2-28D5F57D85D2 My TMOS version is 14.1.2.3, build 0.0.5, point release 3. Initially, the license was provided for VE v 15.0.0 but I downgraded SW to the version mentioned. I attached information related to activated modules, available licenses and protection profile output. My questions are: 1) is this a licensing issue and I need to request license update/renewal or so? 2) if this is not related to the licensing, what can be the problem? Thank you!01071aca:3: Client SSL profile (/Common/crypto-server-default-clientssl): Certificate matching the configured cipher suites doesn't exist.
I was making test with a Strongbox unit, and after relicensed with the same modules, I got this error and the config doesn't load correctly. I cant save config, load config. I didnt find any hint about whet to check, the config files are ok with the config, but the device is not loading them. I was running 14.0.0.2 - Point Release 2.Support options for Lab VE and Cloud VE
I want to confirm my understanding of technical support options available for the Lab VE license and 'Cloud' VE offerings (specifically PAYG 'utility' license referenced here). Lab VE: Comes with 1-year of eligibility for software upgrades. I'm not sure if technical support (phone or web 'ticket') is included in the Lab VE. A while back I thought I saw a post on DevCentral where someone was able to purchase an annual support contract for the lab license, though I'm not sure if that included technical support or was just follow-on upgrade eligibility. Cloud VE: The reference link notes "F5 premium support and a 30 day free trial are included in this offering." I understand this to mean that full phone and web-based technical support are available. Thanks for any clarification!Add-on Key disruption to traffic
I have a couple of production LTM boxes running in active/standby....version 11.6.1 HF2. Also have APM provisioned for testing but not yet licensed. When I add the add-on key to license APM can I expect any disruptions to my prod LTM traffic/connections? I take it..yes as per the following https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K7752 Just wanted to confirm. Also, would it be worth failing over to the standby once the license has been entered on it before entering the license on the active. Or is traffic disruption hardly noticeable when adding a license? I'm not using mirroring. Thanks, Jordan
