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.

Unfortunately this says it only applies to "remote BIG-IP VE device licenses". I was looking into the on-premises BIG-IPs that we have and would like to streamline the process via BIG-IQ for those upgrades.

My bad, I read the KB too fast, I don't think that's possible with on-premises BIG-IPs .
