F5 service check date
Enter a BIG-IP version to get the minimum service check date its license must carry, or enter a service check date to see the newest version you can upgrade to. Based on F5's published License Check Date table (K7727); runs entirely in your browser.
NetworkingThis runs locally against a bundled copy of F5's License Check Date table (K7727). Nothing is sent anywhere.
You can also paste your /config/bigip.license contents or the tmsh show sys license output; the service check date is picked out automatically.
The comparison runs entirely in your browser against a vendored copy of F5's License Check Date table. Enter a version and it returns the minimum service check date that version's license must carry; enter a service check date and it returns the newest version you can upgrade to and the newer branches you cannot reach yet; paste your /config/bigip.license contents or tmsh show sys license output and the service check date is extracted for the same answer. It is pure date arithmetic with no clock and no network: the version's License Check Date and the service check date are both inputs, so the same inputs always give the same answer.
