For the IP address, search the registry for the current IP address and change the appropriate entries.  Use standard Windows utilities to change the description/name.  For the license, search for "Product" and select "View your Product ID", in that dialog there should be an option to change the product key.  Once done add the same NIC as the other definition had and restart.  This has worked all but once for me.  The one time it didn't, Windows discerned a network problem (IP address) and provided a way to fix it.


I remember that for a cloned win system the SID should be also changed.
