Hi All,

I'm afraid this might not the appropriate subforum for this question so sorry in advance.

We currently have a Horizon 8 Connection Server (v2111.1) installed on Windows VM which we have to replace. My understanding is that the best way to proceed (without the need of re-applying each setting) is to install a replica Horizon CS on a new VM and then remove the current VM that hosts our existing CS.

Since I've never done this before, I'm not totally sure about the below.

1. Do we need to apply a separate license (Horizon 8 Standard) for the replica CS?

As noted we plan to remove the current CS, but they are going to be both online for a few days.

2. Do both Horizon 8 Connection Servers need to be on the same version for the replication to take place?

The new CS that we are going to deploy is going to be on version 2303, while the current one is on 2111.1.

3. Regarding the decommission of the current CS, apart from removing the entry using the vdmadmin do we need to take any further actions before powering of the VM that hosts the current CS?

4. Can we simply import the same certificate under the new VM's Windows certificate store?

Thanks for your time!
