You should perform F5 license reactivation before the software upgrade, ideally during a maintenance window, as reactivating resets the service check date and ensures licensing compliance for the new version, preventing boot failures, but it causes a temporary traffic interruption as the config reloads.
F5 has stated same (Impact of procedure: The license reactivation process may reload the configuration and temporarily interrupt traffic processing. F5 recommends performing this procedure during a scheduled maintenance window.)
