F5 BIG-IP LTM VE Trial 12.1.0 : "Error 51133, F5 registration key is not compatible with the detected platform "
Trying to test F5 BIG-IP LTM VE 12.1.0 Trial version. I have downloaded the qcow2 image FBIGIP-11.3.0.39.0.qcow2 and received a registration key by email which leads to the error: Error 51133, F5 registration key is not compatible with the detected platform - This platform, "Z100k", cannot be activated with this registration key "LFXEXUX-FNRBUYU". ` Consulted similar issues in this forum, but no one gives a clear answer about the cause. But the below inf.(look the screenshots) seams to suggest that I am using the wrong key and that there is no registration key for 12.1.0.
