Me and my friends have been playing on a regular Realm for almost one year now and decided to switch to the Dedicated Server Software when it finally released. I downloaded the world-backup from the expired realm, set up BDS and uploaded the world-backup into the "worlds"-folder and configured my server.properties. Everything works, except when I set the level name to the world-backup. When I let BDS generate a new world it works flawlessly, but when I set the name to the world-backup, it only says "Locating server" and when I try to connect it says "Unable to connect to world". I re-downloaded the backup and re-uploaded it to my dedicated server multiple times, no strange letters or symbols in the world string and no sub-folders. Everything should work correctly, but it doesn't.

Copy your world to Win10 or mobile first. When you see it in your list of worlds, click on the edit button next to it, click Multiplayer, and turn on "Visible to LAN players". Should fix the issue.
Just want to confirm that re-enabling Multiplayer and the "Visible to LAN Players" switches on Win10 before copying to my BDS solved this one for me, thanks @FollowThisLogic. I had to toggle both switches because I've noticed that when downloading Realm saves to Win10 the Multiplayer switch is toggled on automatically but the underlying setting is not really enabled. If you don't toggle the Multiplayer switch off/back on, the "Friends" drop down is disabled (which is strange) and no players being able to join the game.
