install new F5 VE

Hi

 

We have existing F5 VE with some problem and we want to re-install new guest and using same configuration.

 

So how to be done? Did I just install new guest VE and then restore ucs configuration of old VE into new guest VE?

 

Or did I have to contact F5 to generate new license for new VE and then restore ucs configuration with "no-license" option ? (just like RMA box)

 

Thank you

    Hi,

     

    Virtual edition generate serial number based on virtual hardware specifications. You can move a license to one VE to another VE.

     

    Contact the support and request to reset registration key on license server.

     

    Then, you will be able to re-activate the same registration key on the new VE.
