what is a right way to change servers names

I've just faced a problem of rename of Solarwinds servers running in my installation. There are 3 Hyper-V servers (Orion, MS SQL and FSDB) running on physical host. All of them have to change their names. I know that I will need to run Configuration Wizard but should I release licenses and register them back? Anything else?

Hi Jaro, open a ticket for resolution.

Submit a Customer Service or Technical Support Ticket - SolarWinds

Thanks,

I adviced network admins not to do it but if they insist I will create a case on Customer Portal.

That will go solve.

There is a step by step answer to this question from a while back, and it is an older response, not much has changed, so it should still be applicable. The only other issue, that I'm not sure is mentioned in the response, is your licensing is tied to your server name, so you may have to still speak with Customer Service to get your license tied to the new named server, but other than that, I think this post will answer your questions.
