Why should the WWN change?

Even if you replace parts, the EVA remains the same, including WWN.

Hope this helps!

Hi Aungshu,

Assuming that you are replacing the EVA itself , which will result in new serial no & WWN of the EVA, you can follow the below to get new license.

Request for a new license orderno, via your ITRC profile linked to the contract for EVA. The new order no, can be used in webware.hp.com to generate a license

Please let me know if this works.

We want to completely shutdown the current EVA and use the new one. Because already 2 times disaster is happening on the current one. Customer faced lots of data loss. So they decide to use a new EVA. Now we need to put the license on that new one. We want to use the old license for that but because this is totally new product the old license will not work.

Ask HP if they can transfer the license.

If HP has suggested to go for new EVA or they are providing it to you without any cost then they will transfer your current license or give you the new license without any cost.

But if it is all your suggestion to go for new EVA then you need to purchase new license for new EVA.
