Options for adding and activating a license pool

Adding and activating a license pool is the first step to start managing it for your BIG-IP devices. You can activate a registration key in these ways:

Automatic

Use this procedure if BIG-IQ is connected to the public internet.

Manual

Use this procedure if BIG-IQ is not connected to the public internet. If you are manually activating a volume or utility license, you must activate each offering individually.
