you have me doubting myself now...<br><br>Speaking of the DMA upgrade, I am in the middle of one right now in which I changed hostnames during the 4.x to 6.x upgrade.<br><br>For some reason, the new 6.1.1a publisher is still trying to replicate to the old subscriber hostname, even though i deleted it. This has broken the replication to the new subscriber as well.<br>
<br>I have a TAC case open and the first two TAC engineers have told me that it isn't supported to change hostname from 4.x to 6.x......ahhhh<br><br>Does anyone know what I need to do to get rid of the old subscriber name? i think TAC needs to root in and edit the sqlhosts maybe?<br>

This would great, except for the fact that you still have to perform the<br> entire upgrade to get this result. Again, there are a lot of us out<br> there that want to perform a more controlled migration to 6.x than just<br>
upgrading the entire box in one fell swoop.<br> <br> In our case we have an extra 7835 server in the lab so if I can't get<br> licensing through using the SO I can pop a drive out of our production<br> Publisher and perform the upgrade, get the new license without effecting<br>
actually upgrading our production environment. However, everyone can't<br> necessarily do this.<br> <br> There still needs to be an easier way. Would just running a utility on<br> a 4.x server that generates a 6.x license (for Cisco) without upgrading<br>
really make a huge difference? I understand that they are trying to<br> prevent people from "cheating the proverbial licensing system", but<br> there are so many workarounds already that it really doesn't matter in<br>
the grand scheme of things in my humble opinion.<br> <br> Matt<br> <div><div></div><div><br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Jonathan Charles [mailto:<a href="mailto:jonvoip@gmail.com" target="_blank">jonvoip@gmail.com</a>]<br>
