In case you have a backup you could restore a backup from UCS . Follow these steps: K13132: Backing up and restoring BIG-IP configuration files with a UCS archive

Or if you don't have a backup you can make a factory reset and re-activate the license from the serial number. Like this: K13127: Restoring the BIG-IP configuration to factory default settings (11.x - 14.x)

Or you search for a file name 

/config/bigip.license.bak
. There should be files with similar names that will contain also a backup of bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf in case you didn't take a backup of your config. And then you put the bits and pieces back together from these files.
