Can't separate duplicated Plex installation

Server Version#: 3.89.2
Player Version#: N/A

I recently followed this guide to duplicate my plex libraries and metadata from my old hardware (system a) onto a new piece of hardware (system b). But I want to keep my old hardware functional. Using the plex interface online, I am unable to use both systems and it defaults to the new hardware (system a), unless it’s powered off, then I can use the old hardware (system b), but not simultaneously.

How do I fix this?

I followed the instructions and deleted the machine id keys detailed in the post from the old machine.

Now, the old server says “an unclaimed server has been found” and when I try to claim it, it says “Server settings are unavailable”. Signing out of the plex account doesn’t seem to fix it.

Settings - Web Client - General - ‘Show Advanced’ - “TURN OFF Settings Sync”

Then try this first: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204604227-why-can-t-the-plex-app-find-or-connect-to-my-plex-media-server/

If that doesn’t help, continue with this procedure: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/
