WHS 2011 Licence

Can anyone tell me can I transfer my present server licence from my 'own build' server to my new one. I will be using the same hard drives but a different motherboard form factor(mini ITX) and an AMD CPU instead of a Intel CPU. The reason I like the new mini ITX cases ie., Prodigy and coolermaster elite 120. Many Thanks for any replies.

Just reinstall it on the new board and phone activate it.

According to the EULA it's tied to the original machine, so no obligation on MS's part.

I've not had any issues transferring it when my original machine has been fully upgraded, and has always activated without needing to phone.

Thanks jamesfreddie and ChileanLlima. I thought as much but needed confirmation
