Impact

Conditions

1. The only module listed as licensed in /config/bigip.license is 'mod_apm' 2. The platform is in the 5000 or 7000 series. 3. The feature ltm_proxy_fastl4 does not appear in 'tmsh show sys license detail'.

Workaround

Renew the current license using any of the available commands, such as 'tmsh install sys license'. This will retrieve an updated license file from F5 which contains the needed licensing data.
