Certain features of the LTM require specific licensing; one of these features is PEM. LTM Policy supports PEM conditions and actions, and exposes these options even when PEM is not currently licensed. Therefore it is possible to create a policy that cannot be applied to a virtual server.
User sees error message, policy is not applied to virtual server.
BIG-IP is not licensed for PEM, and user applies an LTM Policy to a virtual server which specifies 'ssl-persistence classification'.
Either enable PEM licensing or change the LTM Policy to not use 'ssl-persistence classification'.
