Use

The phone home feature allows F5® to maintain and improve F5® LineRate® by
gathering usage data including, but not limited to, URL addresses, usage, and
configuration information. It is required to activate some license types.
[https://linerate.ihealth.f5.com/](https://linerate.ihealth.f5.com/bundle-
analyzer/)

To enable phone home, you will need your F5 username and password, which you
created when you downloaded the installation file or obtained a license. Also,
the system must be able to connect to the Internet so that it can phone home.

---->DRAFT: The phone home feature allows us to maintain and improve F5® LineRate® via the reporting of usage data. These data include, but are not limited to, URLs, usage statistics, and configuration information (additional details below). Phone home service is enabled upon activation of certain license types. As successful phone home uploads are required to activate these licenses, you must [configure your F5® username and password](https://docs.lineratesystems.com/087Release_2.6/100Getting_Started_Guide/130Configuring_Licensing#phone-home) prior to, or at the time of, license activation.
