Downloading VE for VmWare

Hi Folks, we are in a process of deploying F5s in a VmWare environment. We will have them only licensed for LTM. My question is what .ova file am I downloading here? 

BIGIP-17.1.0.3-0.0.4.ALL-vmware.ova

OR

BIGIP-17.1.0.3-0.0.4.LTM-vmware.ova

There could be a future use case to apply a APM license key, so will it be the ALL.ova?

    Hi Sandy,

    Yes, I would recommend using .ALL because you might use any other F5 module in the future. so instead of intiailizing any other ova files, you cna use the existing one already.
