So just in case anyone needs to know the answer to this question.

 

The answer here is no.

 

You cannot apply the registration key from any of the skus listed in sol15550 to any VE LTM version below 11.4.1.

 

You can upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4.1 and then apply the license key but this of course requires downtime on the device and disruption to service if you are not running in HA. You would be better off upgrading the instance to 11.5.3 HF X and then apply the new license. (And if you are moving from 11.3 to 11.4 or above read : sol14409).

 

Thank You to everyone who viewed and I hope this information is useful to you.

 

Kind Regards,
