Complete rebuild of Splunk question

[jerrythoms]

We have a perpetual license and are currently running an on prem set up of version 7 (windows) on several servers.

We want to create a new splunk environment in our private cloud.

Can i download the free trial and then copy my license to that ? Would it be an issue with that being 9

Can i just copy the license file from our License master in our current environment and move it over?

Technically, yes, that is what you would do since licenses are not version-specific. You should, however, check the terms of the license to confirm it can be used in two environments at the same time (I'm guessing it's not allowed).

Thanks so muck. I intend to have the older version turn off before i turn the new one on
