Thanks for the quick update!

 

 

I would suggest disabling the FIPS compliance in your local security policy settings, if this is a valid option for you. At least temporarily, until you're done with the licensing. After you do this, make sure the related registry key value turns to 0. (I'm not sure if you'll need to restart the system, with that change. It would prompt you anyway, if you'll have to). Then open up a command prompt and run the licensing wizard with the following command (in the %Program Files%\F5 Networks\Management Pack folder):

 

 

f5mpgui /UL

 

 

This will run the F5 MP Licensing Wizard for updating the license.

 

Let me know how it goes, or if disabling the FIPS-compliance is not an option for you.
