Why each option
The F5 Configuration Utility Platform menu is the authoritative location to view BIG-IP license and support contract status without relying on manual log or file inspection.
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.
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.
The F5 Configuration Utility (TMUI) Platform section displays the full license details including service expiration and support contract validity, providing administrators a clear and centrally managed view that reflects the current state of the support entitlement for the HA pair.
/var/log/license is not a standard BIG-IP log path used for support contract or license status verification.
