**** Creating disk Images ****

Install whatever additional services you want on the server (if you need up2date, this would be a good time)

Install a default copy of DirectAdmin on a server.
Install items as desired.

Delete the license (doesn't really matter..  just so that nobody else gets a hold of it)

Create the image using whatever method you would like.


*** copy the image to the new server

Run the scripts you would normally run to setup the image properly.
Use the ipswap.sh script as decribed above to swap all instances of the IPs.

When you need to use the server, contact DirectAdmin, order a license using the new server's ip.
Once activated, use the getLicense.sh (see above) to download the license for this system.

Restart DirectAdmin and you should be up and running.
