Upgrade F5 VE LAB licenses to 200MB VE ?

Hi,

 

We are going to setup the Staging environment with using 2 VE Lab edition in HA mode and We would like up upgrade the environment to another VE version likes 200MB.

 

Do you know is it possible to just purchase the license key and update it or we need to re-install the VM?

 

Thanks

    You can relicense the existing VM no issues but it will require:

     

    1. Contacting Sales
    2. Contacting Support to reset the VM serial to the new key

    I've done it... it's a slight pain but totally doable. Just make sure any modules in the lab environment you're "testing" are not in the application path. The updated license may not have all of the modules (if you're not purchasing them) and would cause some update heartaches...
