Inputs

    description:
    - The registration key you want to assign from the pool.
    required: true
    type: str

pool:
    description:
    - The registration key pool to use.
    required: true
    type: str

state:
    choices:
    - present
    - absent
    default: present
    description:
    - When C(present), ensures the device is assigned the specified license.
    - When C(absent), ensures the license is revoked from the remote device and freed
      on the BIG-IQ.
    type: str

device:
    description:
    - When C(managed) is C(false), specifies the address, or hostname, where the BIG-IQ
      can reach the remote device to register.
    - When C(managed) is C(true), specifies the managed device, or device UUID, that you
      want to register.
    - If C(managed) is C(true), it is very important you do not have more than one device
      with the same name. BIG-IQ internally recognizes devices by their ID, and therefore,
      this module cannot guarantee the correct device will be registered. The device returned
      is the device that is used.
