  • Is there any way to migrate from desktop edition to workstation ?

    Posted on

    Hi,

    I have an old installed base of desktop edition machines ( running on vmware for hardware independance ), using this software:
    subscription-manager list
    +-------------------------------------------+
    Installed Product Status
    +-------------------------------------------+
    Product Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop
    Product ID: 68
    Version: 6.6
    Arch: x86_64
    Status: Not Subscribed
    Status Details: Not supported by a valid subscription.
    Starts:
    Ends:

    Recently I 'upgraded' my licenses to workstation licenses wanting to be able to use more CPU and RAM for a bit higher workloads.
    Imagine my surprise when I now no longer am able to patch the machines since I have the wrong kind of licenses.
    Complete reinstall is not really a good way to go as a change in opreating system may force us to certify our own products again.

    In case I do have a reinstall, what would be the easiest way to do that, given that I want to have a mirror image of the existing desktop machine, but with workstation packages ?

    Regards,
    Tommy
