Reactivate License of BIG-IP via BIG-IQ

I know with BIG-IQ you can upgrade software on a BIG-IP but a big piece to the upgrade path is ensuring that the Service Check Date is later than the release date of the software you want to upgrade ...

    Received confirmation from F5 Support:

     

    The Big-IQ cannot re-activate the license for a physical Big-IP.

Hi,

Yes you can, look this link : https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K77706009#refresh

 

Note: Refreshing the BIG-IP license from the BIG-IQ system is also referred to as reactivating a BIG-IP license

After reactivating the base registration key from the License server, you need to pass the updated license information to the BIG-IP system to ensure it contains a recent service check date.
