BIG-IP on Bare Metal - Trial License error.

Hi Folks,
1st post so be gentle!
I''ve just blown away my ESXi EVE-ng install and reinstalled on Bare Metal and am now recreating some LABS.

My Setup: EVE-ng Professional, Bare Metal, Ubuntu 16.04.6 install.
HP Compaq Elite 8300, 3770 i7 32G RAM. 2 x NICs. VT-X enabled.
BIG-IP LTM 14.1.2.3 Build 0.0.5 with Trial Keys.


I am running into an error that appears to be related to compatibility between my Bare Metal install and BIGIP LTM 14.1.2.3 Build 0.0.5.
I have gotten the trial keys from F5, and installed BIG-IP LTM 14.1.2.3 Build 0.0.5 fine, however when I attempt to Activate the License on the BIG-IP It throws the following error:

Licensing Error: Error 51133, F5 registration key is not compatible with the detected platform - This platform, "Z100k", cannot be activated with this registration key "ABCDEFG-HIJKLMN".

Anyonw else encountered this issue with a Bare Metal install and F5 BIG-IP labs?
thanks folks
