bigiq_utility_license - Manage utility licenses on a BIG-IQ

New in version 2.6.

Synopsis

  • Manages utility licenses on a BIG-IQ. Utility licenses are one form of licenses that BIG-IQ can distribute. These licenses, unlike regkey licenses, do not require a pool to be created before creation. Additionally, when assigning them, you assign by offering instead of key.
