Hi all,
I am weighing up the pros and cons to either do an "in place" upgrade or "migration".

I just wanted to know if anyone had any pros or cons to this. The Environment constsits of 10+ SAN SSO Media Servers, 1 Master, 1 Robot.

In place should be easy, but Symantec are identifying many, many issues with the current environment, that concerns me that the upgrade will not go clean.

Starting afresh for the Master means I will migrate clients and policies over from the old system to the new one.

Just a couple of quick questions:

1) My License key is for upgrade. Would it still work if 5.1 was not installed on the "clean" new Server?
2) for the SAN Media Servers, any cons I need to be aware of when upgrading them and pointing them to the new Master Server

3) Does this violate the license agreement by using the new key on new clean hardware? What if I turn off the Master, install 5.1 on the new Server with my current license, and then use the upgrade license key for NBU 6.5

Apprecaite the comments and advice.

Thanks

Regards

Simon
