Did you upgrade from v11.6 to v12 ? If so you can boot back to v11.6 no need to activate license there. If you are planning a fresh install on a new VM, then you need to reactivate. F5 support should help in the license move from one device to another.

 

If you are installing on the same device from v12 to v11.6 then you need to reactivate license, but it should allow you to reactivate. Keep in mind, VM should be same. (You might loose configuration moving back from v12 to v11.6 after fresh install)
