Big IP checking license/license active/license expiration

Hi, Using F5 Big IP SDK can we check if license is active, license expire? Using F5 Big IQ SDK can we check if Big IP on specific IP is licensed? What should be the best way to check the above? SDK/Rest API/or ssh commands

    What version(s) of BIG-IQ / BIG-IP? The below should generally work:

    Hitting the BIG-IP directly (e.g. via curl):

    https://{IP}/mgmt/tm/shared/licensing/registration

    There is less info via BIG-IQ, but the following includes an 'isLicenseExpired' value:

    https://{IP}/mgmt/cm/system/machineid-resolver

    With ssh access, you can look at the license file directly (

    /config/bigip.license
    ).
