Hello,
Find below a response about the same topic from: Martin Robbins: https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/lab-license-upgrade-from-1212-to-1300-valid-service-contract-required-53440
For informaton, you have to purchase a yearly recurring maintenance contract with the license which is a percentage of the original purchase price.
If this support contract is not renewed, then the service check date stops at the date that it expired.
You can install all versions of Big-IP upto this check date, as you indicated, there is a solution document that lists the versions and minimum required check date.

So, you have two options, buy a new license with a valid support contract or renew the support contract on this license but be warned you will have to pay for the support period all the way back to when it previously expired.
Regards,
