Is product activation likely to come into play when migrating to a totally
new machine? (Not tried it, just interested.)

I'll do the following (Note: brute force!)
1. Clone the OS partition to a spare HD
2. Plug the clone HD in the new server
3. If it hangs, HAL conflict or missing driver.
4. unplug all HD on old server and have clone HD plug
5. restart old server and install all the drivers that comes with the new
server
6. unplug clone HD with new server drivers installed
7. plug clone HD into new server again.
I did the same thing when I migrated from old raid card to new raid card.

Is there a preferred method to migrate the old server to the new
hardware,
including all services and licensing? Minimal downtime is key of course.
It
is a small business and this is there only server.
