Migration and Upgrade

Hello everybody.

I'm currently running D7.0.6. I am planning an upgrade to 7.1. Since I heavily customized the framework for the current install, I will need to do the upgrade on a private server, look at the result and implement modules where needed instead of modifying the code directly (stupid me).

I'm planning on doing the following:

  • setup new dedicated server
  • setup same domain on that server
  • copy site to that server
  • change hostfile of development workstation to point the domain to the new server
  • upgrade the site & apply modifications
  • When finished, change DNS settings and make new server production.

I'm facing an issue though.

The current site is registered. Will moving the site to a new server (not production) make the site on the old server unregister? Or will they both be registered? How can I have the 2 sites (which use the same domain names) registered at the same time so I can work without the frustration of a nag message.

Thanks for your idea's

The license is attached to the domain, so if old server is running using example.com domain where global DNS point to, and new server is using example.com as well using etc/hosts file - then both sites can use the same license.
