Why each option
Generating a new BIG-IP license requires submitting the system's dossier to the F5 license server.
The dossier is a system-generated file that contains a cryptographic fingerprint of the BIG-IP hardware and software environment, and the F5 license server requires this dossier to validate the specific device and generate a license activation key uniquely tied to that system.
The base license alone is insufficient to generate a new license - the dossier is required because it provides the hardware-bound fingerprint that the license server uses to authenticate the device.
The serial number alone does not contain enough system fingerprint data to generate a license - the full dossier, which includes serial information plus additional hardware details, is required by the F5 license server.
The purchase order number is a procurement and billing reference only and is never submitted to the F5 license server as part of the license generation process.
