Fix Information

This fix adds support for recognition of a Purpose-Built DDoS Hybrid Defender license, and the necessary mechanisms to launch the DDoS Application.

Behavior Change

There is no change in behavior to existing behavior and functionalities. However, when a DoS License is installed, the Big-IP platform takes on the role of a dedicated DoS protection device. Consequently most non-DoS related functionalities are either disabled or function in limited capacity.
