I need to migrate my Orion NPM and SAM from my existing Win 2008 (not R2) server, to a new Win2008 R2 server. I am following the Orion NPM Migration Reference Guide, but I have a question, even before I get started. :-) I want to keep the same name for the server. But obviously I need to start building it while the old one is still online. The new one will be NEWMAN014, and the current production server is MAN014. So I don't want to transfer the licenses to a new name. How do I deal with that? Can I install and import the database backup to the new server, then - as a last step - stop the old server, rename the old server to something else, rename the new server to the old name? Since the license is tied to a machine with the name MAN014, will it still continue to work?
Sorry if that seems like a silly question.
(currently: Orion Core 2012.2.0, SAM 5.2.0 SP1, NPM 10.4, IVIM 1.5, and SQL 10.0.5512 - which is SQL Server 2008 SP3 x64)
The NEWMAN014 will have Win 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
