Topic #: 4
For an upgrade of a standalone BIG-IP, a maintenance window is available in which brief interruptions are allowed.
Actions with no impact can be done outside the maintenance window.
When should a license reactivation be performed?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

License reactivation updates the BIG-IP device's license file to ensure:
* TheService Check Dateis current
* The device is eligible to install the intended TMOS version
* Any module entitlement updates are received
Reactivationdoes not interrupt trafficand does not require a reboot, making it safe to performbeforethe maintenance window.
F5 best practices state:
* Performall non-impact tasks priorto the scheduled maintenance window
* Leave the window available for activities that require rebooting, such as the software installation itself Since license reactivation isnon-disruptive, it should be donebeforethe upgrade window starts.
