Web Hosting and Cloud Computing Control Panels
Howdy,
Yup, that's no problem. You can simply install your copy of Virtualmin on the two different machines while you rebuild your server.

I am about to move from a virtuoso based vps to what my provider calls a vds - a xen based system. Not wanting any problems with the move, I tried installing the gpl version on the new server.
I've been running ubuntu on the old server, 8.04 and the pro install went like clockwork last time i needed to backup and reinstall (after i messed something up).
On the new server, I have the choice of ubuntu 10.4, debian or centos.
Using gpl, I got errors on both the ubuntu and debian installs because of an issue with postgresql saying that it couldnt open a port - centos seems to have installed correctly - although to access the control panel I have to tunnel using ssh - i dont know if that is an error, I went for the pro version after trying the gpl version briefly for a while some time ago.
I was thinking that I would have to downgrade the old server to gpl before using my pro license on the new server - and now I worry that downgrading might break something - the important sites on the system are using zen cart or wordpress -if that matters.
Reading the above, I wonder If I would be able to leave the old server running long enough for me to install, transfer and test things on the new server - without pointing the sites dns. (so that i can revert back if i hit any kind of wall with the new install)
I only ask because I don't want to have any licensing issues, but if the failure of the gpl version to install under ubuntu on my new host points to a problem, testing it with the pro install might be wise, and the last thing i want to do is create a problem on the old server and then find that i have problems getting the pro installed on the new one.
Thanks, Phill

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem. The license allows for things like migrating to a new server.
Once you finish up the migration, don't forget to remove the license from the old server.
While it's on both, you may see a license warning -- but only the root user can see that, and it'll go away a few days after you remove your license from your old server.
