The Community Edition
If your license key expires (or if you actively select it the first time you log in), the Traffic Manager operates in a default state known as the Community Edition. In this state, the Traffic Manager operates normally and with full functionality, but with a bandwidth limit of 10Mb/second and cluster size limit of 4. The Community Edition is designed as a free, production-ready, variant of the Traffic Manager useful for system administrators and application developers wanting to try out advanced vADC (virtual Application Delivery Controller) capabilities in a production environment.
To upgrade the Traffic Manager from the Community Edition to incorporate a full license key, use the System > Licenses page of the Admin UI.
Where the Traffic Manager is operating inside a cluster, you must ensure that the proposed license key update is compatible with other fully licensed cluster instances to avoid unintended functionality impairment. Ivanti strongly recommends that you seek advice from your support provider before updating license keys in a mixed cluster of Community Edition and fully-licensed Traffic Managers.
