NimbostratusLoad .ucs config file
Hello F5 Experts,
Here's the scenario:
I have two F5 LTM BIG IP 2000 v11.2.1 F5-A F5-B
I copied the configuration file (.ucs) from f5-A and F5-B as well and save it.
I decided to to load the config file from f5-A into f5-B but it gives me an error "License is not operational (expired or digital signature does not match contents)".
Of course I cannot reload back the original config of F5-B since I cannot continue to go to setup utility.
Here's my questions:
What is the best solutions in order to correct the licensing issues on f5-B? How to load back the config of F5-B from its original config? Worst case Scenario, how to reset it in factory default?
Any answers and solutions to this issues is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance!

you can reactivate license from CLI:

You can also attempt to load the original UCS from the device itself from the CLI:
tmsh load sys ucsYou can also load a ucs without overwriting the license on the target device (for future reference, and depending on software version):
tmsh load sys ucs no-license- f5newuser_18231This is the result...still not working sys ucs F5-A.localdomain.ucs no-license Replace all configuration on the system? (y/n) n sys ucs F5-A.localdomain.ucs no-license(LICENSE INOPERATIVE)(/Common)(tmos) load Replace all configuration on the system?
