/exec/system/util/license/install/base

Install the license file.

Use

To purchase a subscription license, go to linerate.f5.com/try. For other licensing options, contact sales.

After you install F5® LineRate®, you can install the license.

The following are required for your purchased license to automatically renew:

• The credit card on file must be active and must process the purchase or renewal.
• The F5® LineRate® hardware must have Internet connectivity.
• A F5® LineRate® interface must be configured with either DHCP or a default route and IP address.
• F5® LineRate® must have licensing set to auto.

Note: If your F5® LineRate® system does not meet one or more of the criteria, you can manually install and renew the license before the license period expires. See [Manually Installing a Purchased License](https://docs.lineratesy stems.com/093Release_2.5/100Getting_Started_Guide/130Configuring_Licensing/Man ually_Installing_a_Purchased_License).

The rate limits for HTTP requests, TCP connections, and Mb per second are based on the license you purchased. For more information about how licenses work, see [About Licensing](https://docs.lineratesystems.com/093Release_2.5/20 0CLI_Reference_Guide/Exec_Commands/License_Mode_Commands_(exec)/About_Licensin g).

Currently, the only feature you can license is called base.

Use this command/node to install the license file.

Data Key

URI of the license file to install. System supports file:// protocol. If the protocol prefix is not given, start the URI with a / for an absolute path and start without a / for a relative path from /home/linerate. A maximum file size of 100 kB is enforced. Protect URIs with quotes (for example, “file:///home/linerate/license” or just “license”).

Note: When the default key is set to true, it means the object is set to its default. In this case, the system works as follows:

• On a PUT operation, the system ignores the data key. (Applicable only to /config nodes.)
• On a GET operation, the response only contains “default”: True and does not contain the data key.
• If the object has a base, it inherits its setting from its base.

See [Setting Objects to Their Default](https://docs.lineratesystems.com/093Rel ease_2.5/250REST_API_Reference_Guide/000Getting_Started_with_the_REST_API/300U nderstanding_the_REST_Hierarchy#Setting_Objects_to_Their_Default_(Default_Key) ).

Data Type

string

Default Data Value

• For objects without bases–When the object’s default key is true.
• For objects with bases–When the object’s default key is true, and when the default key is true for all of the object’s bases.

Default Allowed
