pyControl v2 - License BIGIP

Problem this snippet solves:

This pyControl v2 script will license a BIGIP

How to use this snippet:

This pycontrol v2 script will license a BIGIP

It's a port of some of Erick's: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/icontrol.BigIpLicensingCommandLineTool.ashx

Currently missing the proxy functionality though.

Usage: license-bigip.py --bigip < IP|hostname> --username < username> --server < license_server_hostname> 
           --reg_keys < regkeys> --license < license_file> --eula < eula_file>
           

Ex. From Windows 7 Powershell CLI:

 C:\Users\user\Documents> python.exe .\license-bigip.py --bigip 192.168.1.245 --username admin --server activate.f5.com --reg_keys "ETCLF-DNQMM-LFCDU-AWTIU-JGDZXZC"
Enter your password for username: admin
