AWS convert from Hourly to BYOL

Hello,

Is there a easy way to convert from a Hourly license to a BYOL license without having to re-create the instance? We created a hourly instance and configured it for testing and went ahead and bought a regular license from a partner and would like to apply that license to the existing instance.

You will need to create a new instance, I believe. The good news is restoring your backup should be all that is needed as far as reconfiguration on the UTM side of it. Of course, you'll need to test this before taking it for granted, but the hourly licensed instance can't just be changed to a non-licensed (BYOL) instance due to AWS limitations.

Thanks for the response. I just tried restoring our backup onto a test instance and the instance became non-responsive after restoring the backup. Are there any gotchas as far as differences in network configurations? I tried to keep the same NIC ordering and IP addressing.
