Good Morning

Is it possible to clone my indexer machine or Search Head and the license still valid?

If it is not possible, what would be the procedure to mount the license on some other machine?

My license is 10GB

Thank you very mucho.

2) tar/zip splunk home
3) copy the entire tar/zip of old host to new host.
4 ) untar the zip
5) start splunk
