License re-activation process
Hello!
One of those nitty gritty questions if I may?
If a system requires reactivating the license or not is determined by the data for the specific version being downloaded or the expiration date of your service contract with F5 (I think?)?
The re-activation process documented here:
https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K7727
But, if that's the case, how did my colleague (let's call him "Q") manage this?
jamesbond@(MYLB)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys license;show sys version
Sys::License
Licensed On 2016/10/18
Service Check Date 2016/11/21
Sys::Version
Main Package
Product BIG-IP
Version 12.1.2
Build 0.0.249
Edition Final
Date Wed Nov 30 16:04:00 PST 2016
As you can see, it does not seem like "Q" activated the license prior to upgrading to 12.1.2 as the service check date is
2016/11/21
while the KB article specifies 2016-11-29
. Though I would have expected the process to force him to do so upon reboot, but clearly this has not happened?
My colleague is a certified ninja so that might be the reason, but just in case:
What did I miss?
