A network administrator is setting up a new BIG-IP VE in a lab environment. The administrator has received a registration key from the sales team and needs to activate the license. The BIG-IP has no internet access, but the administrator's workstation can reach external websites. What should the administrator do to complete the activation?

Use the BIG-IP Configuration utility to navigate to the Licensing page and enter the registration key directly, relying on the device's own internet connection.

Copy the registration key into the BIG-IP's /config/bigip.license file and reboot the device.

Contact F5 support via phone and provide the registration key to receive a license file by email.

Browse to activate.F5.com from the workstation, enter the registration key, and follow the manual activation process to generate a license file.

An administrator is managing a BIG-IP that was recently moved to a new data center. The move involved replacing the chassis, which changed the serial number. The administrator needs to reactivate the license. The BIG-IP has internet access, but the administrator wants to avoid any downtime during the reactivation. What is the best approach?

Use the automatic reactivation method, which applies the new license without requiring a restart.

Use the 'Modify' workflow to update the serial number without changing the license file.

Copy the old license file to the new chassis and reboot.

Perform the reactivation during a maintenance window, as the license must be re-applied and the BIG-IP may need to be restarted.

A BIG-IP administrator is preparing for an audit and needs to provide evidence of all licensing activities performed on a specific device. The administrator has access to activate.F5.com. What should the administrator do to gather this information?

Review the BIG-IP's configuration files for license information.

Contact F5 support to request a licensing activity report.

Review the licensing history or activity log available on the activate.F5.com portal for the device.

Check the BIG-IP's /var/log/ltm file for licensing entries.
