We are in the process of upgrading our ITSM 81.02 environment to ITSM 9.1. After the ARS portion of the upgrade we are noticing that the HostID used for licensing changes. This is an upgrade in place and some for the servers have been around for more 2 years with the same license key. The arerror.log file has the following entry after ARS is upgraded and the server is restarted:
Thu Sep 01 08:48:54.978 2016 Action Request System(R) Server (x64) Version 9.1.00.001 201606141104 (c) Copyright 1991-2016 BMC Software, Inc.

Thu Sep 01 08:50:54.088 2016 success Thu Sep 01 08:50:54.603 2016 390600 : The server identifier has changed but the current "AR Server" license key will still be honored. (ARNOTE 9827) Old Host ID: 005056937825, Current Host ID: 0050569361AF BMC assures me that nothing has changed with 9.1 in how it gets the HostID yet on three server upgrades the same thing has happened? Anyone else experience this or have an explanation on why this might be happening?
