Great. Still working with Dev to figure out what exact issue is with supporting major version upgrades on hourly billing AMIs. Will keep this post updated.

Sorry, thought I posted this before:
Here is low down re: Upgrades:
Type:
"Software": (ex. in place upgrades like major versions from 11.5.x to 11.6.x using standard isos from downloads.f5.com via live install process mentioned above )
-> We apologize. This is officially supported but there were a few bugs that have been affecting this: related to a permissions issue when user changed from root to admin in 11.6 and another related to licensing. However, upgrading software is officially supported for both BYOL and Utility and should start work starting 11.5.1 HF8 + 11.6.0 HF4.
"Increasing Instance Size:" (ex. m3.large to m3.xlarge)
-> supported starting in 11.6 for BYOL, in next release major release for utility licenses.
"License": (ex. Good to Best )
-> Only BYOL. (Utility is tied to AWS's "software" billing as well which we don't control).
