How to activate Virtual F5 Appliance after license expires?

Hello Folks,   Any idea how can I re-activate my F5 appliance, as my license is expired. If I get a new key with help of my company, where and how can I use it?   Thank you, Darshan

You can also go the CLI route and create a dossier from the command line and then drop the new license into /config/bigip.license manually and run reloadlic to load the new license.

 

Doing it form the CLI avoids the endless wait for the GUI to attempt to contact (And usually fail) the licensing servers itself before giving you the chance to change the key...
