Hi,
I have setup a Server 2012 perfectly and wish to create another server using the exact same hardware, so I have bought another Windows Server licence. My question is, can I do a Windows Server Backup bare metal then restore that onto the new server hardware and then change the product key using slmgr so that the new server uses the freshly-purchased product key?
Then do I have to re-activate the new server?
Will I get any problems having them on the same network, once I have changed the computer name and IP address, is there a GUID in the computer somewhere that will cause me issues?
Is this legal to do like this?
Many thanks.
