NimbostratusBigIQ 5.0/5.2 (Is there any impact when removing devices/services from BigIQ)
After (potentially) causing sync failures while adding bigIP devices to BigIQ after bringing LTMs online during a migration window, I'm pretty gunshy about doing anything in BigIQ outside a change window. But I'm looking to upgrade a couple of my BigIQ's to 5.3. Before I do, I want to remove all the BigIP devices that are in there so I can essentially start over on the new version. If I remove LTM service from a node in inventory management, and then in turn, remove the device itself from BigIQ, is there ANY potential to cause negative impact on the LTM itself?

The immediate thought that comes to me is for devices that are managed and licensed by the BIG-IQ. If you have use the BIG-IQ's License Management feature, when one removes a managed BIG-IP device from the BIG-IQ, it will attempt to revoke the license from that BIG-IP.
