I suspect you've downloaded the BIG-IP "Trial" VE. If you've purchased a VE Lab license then you don't actually want to use the "Trial" version but the real BIG-IP code. Head over to https://downloads.f5.com and download the version that you want to use - I highly recommend one of the later 11.x versions. (Find a download -> BIG-IP v11.x / Virtual Edition (select your version) -> Virtual Edition -> then choose the files relevant to your favorite hypervisor.
