Common mistakes.
- A. The 'License OK' field only confirms the license file is syntactically valid and properly activated on the system, not whether an active support contract exists.
- B. The 'Service Check Date' reflects when the license was last validated against the F5 licensing server, not the expiration date of the support contract itself.
- D. /var/log/license is not a standard BIG-IP log path used for support contract or license status verification.
