Although copying the DB does not physically move the MAC ID, it will move the server license key associated with the copied servers Host ID (MAC). This is easily fixed by adding the correct license after the copy. If you plan to do this regularly, you can add both the prod and dev server license keys to the prod server. Then when the DB is copied it will ignore the incorrect key and use the correct dev key. Todd Arner Great Lakes

And off course the versions should match both of the ARS server and the database..

I was told that copying via an SQL database copy wouldn't work due to mac addresses being copied from the old to the new database, etc. - hence it seemed like Migrator would be the way to go....but that's a guess - hence asking on the list.....

Depending on that your tools and hence the method would vary.. DSO is for copying data to 'follow the sun' to ensure business continuity irrespective of the time locally in case you have global operations. DB / system Replication is another alternative. For replication there is more than one method and your choice really depends on the resources available.
