How do we copy and paste the evaluation key for BIG IP VE into the virtual machine?

What are the keystrokes to 'select the text' of the evaluation license string and then copy and paste it into the Big IP config?

Flavin,I have never had success in using Hyper-V's Virtual Machine Connection window to paste text directly into the BIG-IP command line.

 

For this reason, the first thing I do after initial bootup of the BIG-IP VE is run 'config' to give the VE management interface an IP (either through DHCP or manual) and then connect to that IP via HTTPS and run through the licensing using the web interface.
