We were using Pritunl in docker to do some testing, and now wish to move to a normal host installation.

I dont want to trigger an increase in the license cost, so reading a few forum posts I understand that

As long as:

- public ip is the same
- license key is the same
- `/var/lib/pritunl/pritunl.uuid` is the same ( [Multi host billing - #2 by zach](https://forum.pritunl.com/t/multi-host-billing/1374/2) )
- old docker is shut down

Then we shouldnt increase the license number on the licensing server?

That shouldn’t effect the billing, if it does it would be temporary and prorated at $0.10/hour. The uuid isn’t used for billing.
