Reactivate RD Licensing Server

I'm trying to migrate RDS CALs from a 2008 R2 licensing server to a 2012 R2 licensing server. I have added both servers to RD Licensing Manager on the new server. When I right-click the old server and choose Manage Licenses, I am presented with the following message:

RD Warning 1

If I click Yes, it takes me to the Reactivate Licensing Server wizard. My concern is that this wizard is pre-populated with the details of an employee who has not been here for several years

RDS Warning 2

Can I update these to my own details? What happens if I do, will it break the licensing? If I don't update it, will a confirmation email of some kind be sent to this mailbox? If so it will be lost as the mailbox no longer exists. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to just give it a go (either way) to see what happens, as we have some critical 24x7 users consuming these CALs.

Hi,

For reactivating a license server on other server we can contact the MS Clearing house with all the detail information in hand, explain them your situation and they will help you in your case. In meantime you can also refer following article.
Migrate Remote Desktop Services to Windows Server 2012 R2
Migrate RDP License server to Server 2012

Hope it helps!

Thanks.
