You can.

You need to stop networker on old server and rename the server. Your new server 
should have the same name as the original server. When you do your DR you have 
15 days to rehost your licenses to the new hostid

Edward,
 
Do you know if I can recover my 7.2 bootstrap and indexes onto a new install 
Windows 2003 server without invalidating the license keys?

I would not attempt to upgrade both the OS version and Networker.

I would install the same networker version on the new server. Run the mmrecov 
and recover the DB. Run all your checks after the recovery as you would for any 
DR. Once the new networker server is stable do the upgrade of networker.

You might have to upgrade to 7.3 version first before jumping to 7.4 or 7.5

Folks,



I have a 7.2 Networker installation on Windows 2000.  I want to rebuild
the server hardware as Windows 2003 (not upgrade - the Windows 2000 OS
installation is suspect) and upgrade Networker to a supported version -
can't confirm exact version yet. 



Will I be able to recover the bootstrap and most recent client file
indexes onto this new installation or do I need to re-install 7.2,
recover and then upgrade to a more recent version of Networker?



Regards,



Paul Esson
