NimbostratusCan I use Icontrol or anything to activate the license?
Hi, Is there a way to activate the license through any APIs?
Yes. Have a look at:
https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Management__LicenseAdministration.ashx
There is also an API for the license server at F5. It uses the old pycontrol2 library, but could be adapted to use BigSuds. Have a look at:

Hope this helps.

b_136889Thanks a lot Rich ! I thought of using this. https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-soap/pyControl-v2-License-BIGIP.html and this one works pretty well ! What do you think which one is the suggested way ? Do they have any sample code for first method ?

I updated License-bigip.py to use bigsuds.

Re: Sample Code. There is no sample code but that script uses all those LicenseAdministration calls.
