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 dat...
Hi and welcome to the forum!
Yep, I'm aware of it and I always do it. However, mr "Q" did not seem to have remembered, nor re-activated.
The article states "will fail", right?
"If the service check date is missing or is earlier than the license check date, the BIG-IP system will fail to load the configuration when you attempt to boot into the upgraded software slot."
It also says:
"Note: The **License Check Date**, as shown previously, and the **Licensed Date**, as seen in the bigip.license file, are not the same fields."And the "License Check" date for version "12.1.2" is "2016-11-29" while my units License check date is "2016/11/21". Even so, it is upgraded and the configuration has loaded successfully.
Please let me know if I misunderstood your answer?
