Backup a BIP-IP VM appliance LTM and restore to a Hardware 2000 LTM series

How can I restore a backup config from a Big-IP Virtual Appliance LTM to a Big-IP 2000 series that has LTM licence. Both have version BIG-IP 11.3.0 Build 3117.0

You can try to export a .ucs archive.

Create from CLI with: 

tmsh save sys ucs your_archive_name_here

You will find it in /var/local/ucs.

Now copy it to your licensed destination machine and restore: 

tmsh load sys ucs backup_some_stuff.ucs no-license no-platform-check
