    As per my experience looks like you have mimic f5 license key wrongly and later you have added correct license key(activate.f5.com). In that case it will remove exiting config from f5. Generally bymistake it happens

    Just curious did you utilize any automation or CLI when configuring your BIG-IP or was it all done via GUI?    when in the GUI it auto saves on execution but for example using Ansible you have to save the running configuration to commit the changes on reboot or even re-license.

can you run #show sys mcp to check if the confi is loaded or not? also, ensure that you are in the correct boot location.
