Resolution for VM UUID Change after migration

Hello Folks,

We are migrating some VMs across to a new Data center for DR purpose, however one application VM based on RHEL 7.8 has the license binding to UUID, we were told the UUID will change after VM migration to new host and the risk is the application license might be forfeited. 

It will be appreciated if you could help to provide some tips to keep the UUID after migration. My initial thought is to edit the VMX file but not sure if this is the best option. Also there is a KB from VMWare (https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1541), but it's related to VMWare Workstation and I am not sure if it's also applicable for ESXi.

Thanks a lot for the help!
