Thanks for response!

Not sure what U are referring to about illegal cert number.

Here is some more info:

I am not fully comprehending the whole demoCA procedure, however it is
rather odd that things have stopped working as the serial number ticks
over to 0100 from FF. Was hoping someone might have come across this
before ...

Also, as a potential solution, is there a method for simply copying over
a demoCA from an old server to a new server?
