Revoke pool license from a BIG-IP VE device

Before you can revoke a license for a device in your network, you must have the device’s IP address.

When fewer devices are required for your applications, you can revoke licenses to reassign them to other BIG-IP VE devices, as needed. This procedure allows you to revoke a single license.

Important: When you revoke a BIG-IP license, BIG-IQ removes it from the BIG-IP. When the license is removed, that BIG-IP is no longer operable and won’t be able to manage traffic.

1. At the top of the screen, click Devices.

2. On the left, click LICENSE MANAGEMENT > Assignments.

3. Select the check box next to the device you want to remove a license from.

4. If this is an unmanaged device, type the BIG-IP system’s administrator’s Username and Password.

5. Unmanaged devices are devices that are located in your network, but are not in the BIG-IQ system’s BIG-IP Inventory list. These fields do not display if this is a managed device.

6. Click the Revoke button at the bottom of the screen.

This license is now available for re-assignment to another BIG-IP VE device.
