We've had a slew of problems with them but the current one I am fighting is that they don't remove the license during an event. This means that the new spun up firewall fails as there is no additional credits for it to consume. The way my cloud team is telling me it appea...

vm-series with AWS GWLB

We are to deploy vm-series in AWS with GWLB.

The device continually enters maintenance mode after it reboots to finish the installation process to 11.1.4-h7. The curious part is the maintenance entry reason: "No error entry reason detected".
