move license?

Submitted by zignut on Tue, 07/19/2011 - 13:40 Pro Licensee

Hello, I'm in the process of transitioning our hosts around from a VPS provider to our own physical machines. We own a VirtualMin50 and a Cloudmin physical license. Ultimately, we need to move these to different hosts. Is it enough to just reinstall each respective license elsewhere and remove it from the previous? The previous hosts will, at some point, be destroyed, but we may be looking at a little overlap as we make sure the circuit, machines are stable, and dns propagates, etc. I know there is a little phone-home built into virtualmin, and I wanted to make sure we weren't in violation, and what the best way to go about this was?

Thanks!

der, apparently I had not searched enough: https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/system/migrate

And for anyone coming across this post before the above, here's the section that answered my question:

Install Virtualmin

Install Virtualmin onto your new server using the install.sh script. If you're using Virtualmin Pro, it's okay to use your same license on both servers during your migration.

Thanks.

Yup, you're correct, that's no problem!

We certainly understand that there may be some overlap during a migration, so it's no problem to have both licenses up and running while you're getting things all sorted out.

Good luck with your move!
