3cx 12.5 (windows) migrate to VM from physical server - activation problem

[mserg]

Hello!
Tell me, who did the migration of the physical 3cx 12.5 server into the virtual environment?
I have migrated my server, but after starting 3cx in the web panel, 3cx asks for activation, but it does not go through the same key. (I suppose I just can't reactivate 12.5v) only the latest versions ??

I also made a backup with further recovery on a virtual machine, but the recovery ends with an error.

I know that you can upgrade (I already did a test upgrade from 12.5 to version 16 (trial)
but funding has not yet been allocated for the upgrade of the license, I wanted to stay at 12.5, but transfer 3cx to the VM

Tell me, will the option with installing from scratch, and then deploying a 3cx backup help in this situation?

The Licence will drop down if you don't pay for it, in June you only got 45 days, looks like 3cx has changed it to 1 year.

If I recall installing from scratch will require activation, however it's been a long time and I may be incorrect.

yes, I tried to transfer the system backup to the bare 12.5 - everything was transferred, but the system required activation.
