Advanced-Protocols License

In versions 11.6 and 12.0, MRF SIP virtual servers will not start without an Advanced Protocols license in addition to the LTM license. The license check happens when configuration is loaded, /var/log/ltm file will contain a “MESSAGE ROUTING SIP feature not licensed” line. Since the check only happens when config is loaded, no additional message will be displayed when trying to connect to the virtual server.
Starting with version 12.1, the Advanced Protocol License requirement is no longer required. Only an LTM license is necessary to use SIP.
