After importing an AWS instance into the Intelligence Community (IC) AWS environment you cannot upgrade to 13.1.0.2 (or later) because their license fails to validate afterwards.
The system fails to validate the license after rebooting into the new software. Licenses are inoperative after the upgrade.
-- Manually imported BIG-IP image into AWS IC. -- Upgraded to 13.1.0.2 or newer.
To work around this issue, perform the following procedure: 1. Redeploy a BYOL image from the IC marketplace. 2. Move over the license. 3. Configure the system.
This release provides improved license validation to address this situation by detecting the IC environment, but allowing prior licenses to function.
