Can the v2 templates reference a BIG-IQ License Manager to automatically license BIG-IP Virtual Machines in Azure?

This would be a third licensing option in addition to: Marketplace or BYOL.

Hi @tmarfil, the autoscale templates currently support this: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates-v2/blob/b2cab6429f1b027c7a0e0daade1164e627bdaeb2/examples/autoscale/bigip-configurations/runtime-init-conf-bigiq-with-app.yaml#L94

To use in failover/quickstart, you would need to customize the runtime init configs to use a similar licensing configuration in DO: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates-v2/blob/main/examples/failover/bigip-configurations/runtime-init-conf-3nic-payg-instance01.yaml

Licensing via BIG-IQ is referenced in the documentation here: https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-azure-arm-templates-v2/tree/main/examples#introduction
