I tried the work around you listed to disable FIPS setting in the registry by turning it to 0. This worked and allowed the license process to complete successfully.

 

 

I then turned the registry key back to 1 to enable FIPS.

 

 

Checked the F5 Monitoring Service windows service and it was disabled and stopped. Attempted to start and go an error 1 Incorrect Function. Checked the Windows Application log and saw the same FIPS error listed during service startup. I then turned the registry entry back to 0 for FIPS and the service started.

 

 

It appears that in order for the management pack installation to function I have to have the FIPS setting disabled but this will not be feasible and is set by GPO.
