Hello,
I have a scenario here that our client wants a server upgrade, while we cannot afford any downtime,
we will setup the new server in parallel while their current server is running, so business will continue, and at the same time more testing time for us to see if there will be issues on the new machine.
Current Server -> Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition
New Server -> Windows 2016 Server Standard with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition
My question is, can I use the same license that is running in Current Server on the New Server? The parallel running of both servers will only last for maybe 1 to 2 weeks, and if everything is ok, we will completely migrate on the new server.
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
