Replacing 2008R2 DC with 2012R2 DC - Server has RDS License Server on it - Can I Migrate the RDS Licenses from 2008R2 to 2012R2 then change name?

we want migrate our windows 2008r2 dc windows 2012r2 dc. want keep name of dc same.  

so typically demote dc, rename server. change name of new dc name of old dc, promote new dc new name.  

will rds license server survive name change? either before or after dc demotion/promotion.

so if have svr-existing migrate licenses svr-new, change svr-new svr-existing needs done? or should i change svr-new svr-existing, migrate licenses form svr-old svr-existing (new)?

thanks,

hi,

yes not fan of in-place upgrades especcially when have several roles on server somtimes job.

i believe scenario work. practically install new server install rds license role activate itand use manage rds cals migrate licenses new server. don't forget rdsh server point new server until old server refreshed.
