Licensing concern related to upgrading Server hard drives?


hi everyone,

plan on upgrading hard drives in works server (host).

on server have windows server 2012 standard installed (as host os).

there 6 hard drives in server, in raid10 array, , plan use acronis true image image 
contents of array 1 hard drive (a 4tb western digital).

after performing first clone operation take original 6 drives out, , replace them 6 new drives.

create raid array out of 6 new drives, , perform second clone operation, involve
cloning contents of single 4tb drive onto new array.

once boot new array concerned windows licensing may affected. 

can see issues plan in relation server licensing?

, opinions here appreciated.

kind regards,

david

probably work out pretty good.  windows won't care new volume if does, activate.  if not can call activation helpline, replacing drives doesn't require new license
