Import and activate registration keys in bulk

Before you can start this task, you must create a CSV file with the registration keys you saved in regkey,notes/comments format. After you add a registration key (regkey) pool, you can import the CSV to activate the registration keys all at once.

With BIG-IQ, you can easily import and activate a large number of registration keys.

Note: A regkey pool should contain BIG-IP VE standalone registration keys only and should not contain pool licenses such as a utility or volume or purchased pool license. The standalone registration keys in the regkey pool should be of the same type. For example, don’t mix LTM and ASM registration keys. If you have multiple types of registration keys, use separate regkey pools for each. It’s best to activate registration keys of the same type at once. For example, don’t mix LTM and ASM registration keys.
