after changing ip and hostname virtual center fail to start

Hello,

a client has changed the ip and hostname of the server who has installed virtual center and license server. After the change, virtual center fail to start.

What i must to do to start Virtual Center?

I think that i must to uninstall and install again the virtual center and configure a system dns pointing to the old database, is correct?

Thank you for your contribution

If you want to troubleshoot why its not starting we can help. Or as mentioned above if you are happy to do a reinstall that will also solve it pretty quickly.

Up to you.
