5.2. Revoke the BIG-IP VE License (Ansible)¶
The sslo-cloud-templates repository also includes an example playbook to revoke the BIG-IP VE license. This allows you to re-use a license without having to call F5 Support to release the activation lock.
Note
The license that the instructor provided for this lab is valid for 30 days.
In VSCode, click playbooks > utility-revoke-license.yaml to view the example playbook.
This playbook relies on variable values provided by the previously reviewed ansible_vars.yaml file.
The playbook tasks are described below:
Task Name |
Module Name |
Description |
|---|---|---|
Remove the license from the system |
bigip_command |
Revokes the BIG-IP (SSL Orchestrator) license using a TMSH command. |
In the BASH Terminal, run the playbook:
ansible-playbook -e @ansible_vars.yaml playbooks/utility-revoke-license.yaml
Wait for the Ansible playbook to complete.
In the BIG-IP (SSL Orchestrator) TMUI, you should see a message indicating that the system is not operational due to licensing.
