Jeff,

In order to save and reuse the current configuration, the upgrade to  
new hardware and new software needs to be a two-step process.
Option 1: upgrade CCA on the current hardware, install CCA from  
scratch on the new hardware, backup the configuration on the old  
hardware, then restore the configuration on the new hardware.
Option 2: use Ghost or Ghost 4 Linux to migrate CCA to the new  
hardware, then upgrade CCA on the new hardware.

Either way, be _very_ careful about having duplicate managers or  
servers on the network at the same time.  Bad things will happen.  We  
typically replicate our production network to our test network by  
backing up the configuration, editing the backup files to change IP  
addresses, remove the servers, etc. and then restore the modified  
configuration on the test manager.

I would recommend that you contact TAC about this and get their  
opinion as well.  In the end, depending on your configuration, it may  
be easier to recreate everything.

Per the licenses, you need to talk to TAC.
