Hi Ayman,
Yes, during you reactivation you have to add your add-on then check in System ›› License that your add-on took effect.
If you add additionnal Concurrent Users for APM for example you can validate that your new license display this add-on.
Additional info:
You can add BIG-IP feature modules to a BIG-IP device for additional functionality. Adding a feature module requires you to obtain an add-on registration key and re-activate the license. After you obtain an add-on registration key, you can activate the feature using the Configuration utility. When licensing redundant BIG-IP systems, you must obtain a unique add-on registration key for each device.

Just be carefull: Traffic processing is briefly interrupted while the BIG-IP system reloads the configuration. When licensing redundant BIG-IP systems, F5 recommends that you activate the add-on module on your BIG-IP devices while they are in standby mode.
Let me know if you need more details.
regards,
