Why each option
After adding a new add-on license for a module like ASM, the next step is to provision that module on both BIG-IP devices to allocate system resources for its operation.
After a license for a new module like ASM is installed, the module must be 'provisioned' on the BIG-IP device. Provisioning allocates the necessary system resources (CPU, memory, disk) for the module to become active and functional. This step is critical for HA pairs to ensure both devices can run the module.
While synchronization is important for HA pairs, it only syncs configurations; it does not activate a newly licensed module itself.
Rebooting the devices is not typically required solely for provisioning a new module after licensing.
Reactivating licenses is done if there are changes to the license itself or its features, not simply after installing a new add-on license.
