A BIG-IP Administrator needs to load a UCS file but must exclude the license file...

When restoring a User Configuration Set (UCS) file, BIG-IP allows administrators to selectively exclude the license during the restore process. From the CLI , this is accomplished using the no-license option with the tmsh load /sys ucs command.

The command:

tmsh load /sys ucs < ucs filename > no-license

restores:

System configuration

Certificates and keys

Device and traffic objects

while explicitly excluding the license file , which is required when:

Migrating configurations between devices

Restoring to hardware with a different license

Avoiding license conflicts or overwrites

Why the other options are incorrect:

A does not provide the option to exclude the license.

B restores the UCS including the license , which does not meet the requirement.

D is incorrect because the BIG-IP GUI does not provide a checkbox to exclude the license during UCS restore.

Therefore, the correct and supported method is C .
