Hello Subrun,

 

It would probably be easiest to activate a new license through the GUI. This guide will take you through the process.

 

Feel free to ask if you have any follow-up questions,

 

Austin

Hello Austin,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

Looking at the Doc you provided look like I need to follow below steps. So my query is should I delete the already existing license from the Add-On Box or just add the new one.

 

=========== Activating the add-on module using the automatic activation method

 

To re-activate the license with the add-on registration using the automatic activation method, perform the following procedure:

 

Log in to the Configuration utility. Navigate to System > License. Click Re-activate. Paste the add-on registration key into the Add-On Key box and click Add. Click Automatic. Select Outbound Interface that has connectivity to the license server . Click Next. The BIG-IP system automatically connects to the F5 License Server and activates the license.
