Hi xyznetworks,

If your license model in AWS is Byol you can revoke your license in AWS and relicense a new device in your local Vmware and then repeat the process when you want to move your device to AWS.

Hope it´s work.

If your license model is a subscription unfortunately you have to deploy your system in Vmware with a temporal license, you can request it to your SE in F5, or your local partner, just for 45 days.
