Hi Jucao,
That error probably indicates that the license on the unit is not valid or has expired. You should be able to check for this using get_license_activation_status:

Hi there jucao,
I spoke briefly with one of my colleagues and he indicates that
iControl is always available if the unit is licensed.
The hyperlink (http://.../) in the comment above from hoolio can be
copied and pasted into your browser's location field in order to visit
a different site on the internet. I have shortened it so that it will
be easier to copy and paste:

Again, the full URL is:http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Management__LicenseAdministration__get_license_activation_status.ashx
Yes, you should be able to access license information using either
bigpipe or tmsh from the command line.
If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask them. I will
do my best to help you get this working.
V/R,

Dec 28 09:56:17 ve11 emerg mcpd[4923]: 01070608:0: License is not operational (expired or digital signature does not match contents).
