Yes! you have to create new device trust.

 

The best possible way is you install new unit, only Access Management console, shut/disconnect Ethernet ports on switch level, activate license , restore backup with out license, make this new device forced offline and no-shut/Connect Ethernet ports on switch level. After that you can make new device trust, enable network fail-over and config sync.
