Error 51133, F5 registration key is not compatible with the detected platform - This platform, "Z100", cannot be activated with this regist

Tried to stick in a trial copy whilst someone else sorts the paperwork, had to re-grab a key as my colleague didn't have the original email to hand, but must have got the wrong trial edition or some such for the license.

What to do?

  • Looks like the keys didn't/don't match the download.

     

    Kicked the reseller and a working key arrived 15 minutes later.

     

  • This is error generated purposely. F5 never wanted to gives a trial version and this error message shows up every copy I tried. F5 support team, can do nothing and won't do nothing. If you buy a used gear from ebay you cannot use it, without paid support contract key, this never happens with any other vendors and this is a gauging scheme.
