Guys,
I would like to uninstall my existing WHS 2011 licence and shift it to a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server.
the circumstances are that I have built a Windows Server 2012 Essentials box and made a start shifting all the important information from the old server. I've also installed a trial LightsOut licence. Which is working well. A couple of glitches, but essentially working well. Before installing the new server, I had removed from each client machine the Windows server connection software and the LightsOut. And then reinstalled the connection software and a LightsOut from the new server.
The problem occurs when I go to uninstall my licence from the old WHS 2011 server. Following forum instructions I used the Control Panel to remove the software, and then went back to the dashboard, selected "add-ins", and then the task "Remove the add-in". The pop-up window then asks - 'are you sure you want to remove blah blah The add-in will be removed from the server and ALL OF THE COMPUTERS ON YOUR NETWORK." (My emphasis). I'd rather not remove the client software because it's working fine with the new 2012 Essentials installation of LightsOut.
Could someone please explain how I transfer the licence across to the new server without uninstalling from the clients.
Thanks very much,
ALH
