What do you mean nothing works?
Via the console, can you access the GUI or just the CLI?
Did you renew the license before trying to boot into the replacement device?
Worst case, you should be able to reinstall BIG-IP, do a little config and import a UCS.
That error does come about when the license was not renewed prior to the redeployment, so since you said you didn't do that, that could be the cause.
HERE is some info on that.
So you could try manually renewing the license from the CLI, HERE is some info on that.
After that, if the Master Control Protocol Daemon is still down, you could try the bash command:
bigstart restart mcpd
From what I've seen, I've had to reinstall BIG-IP when encountering that error, but I only have experience with that error on a virtual machine and not a hardware device.
Hopefully renewing the license does it for you.
Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!
