Ok, I have a requirement to upgrade a farm from 1.8 to XPe but also change
the farm name. The existing farm has been in existence since Winframe, and
there are a LOT of licenses (get my drift?). The current servers are a
mess. The farm name needs to be changed for political reasons. I have a
solution in mind, which calls for upgrading the exiting servers and slapping
on the migration licenses. But what will happen to the licenses if I run
chfarm? I've read that licenses will migrate. <Please confirm>. If this
is true, do I need to explicitly assign licenses to a server before I run
chfarm? Can someone give me an illustrative scenario?
If licenses do migrate this will save me a ton of time. I'll be able to
upgrade a server, migrate the licenses, chfarm to the new farm name, do
fresh installs of old servers into the new farm, and down the last legacy
server.
