Hey Carine,

Please refer to the following F5 solution article:  https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13540950

This steps through the process to re-activate the load / cat licenses on the BIG-IQ (update service check date) and then the steps to push that to each of the BIG-IP devices that you would wish to upgrade.

I'll update the article above and the initial F5 solution https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K69187707

Thanks for the feedback and hope the above helps you and others save time (next time)

James....
