The answer is - yes, the old SQL5 client aggravates matters slightly. You
must first create a "dummy" client (one that has no scheduled backup)
called something like "OLD-SQL5", and use the client ID of the old client
that was previously named SQL5.
Then, you cam create a new client called SQL5, giving it the client ID of
SQL4, and Networker will quite politely ask you if you want to rename
"SQL4" to "SQL5". You say yes, and then go about your business ...
And the "OLD-SQL5" client definition will not use a license, since it has
no scheduled backups ...
So I should be good to go
