Getting new Plex Server hooked up & dropping old one

Server Version#: latest Linux download (dated Dec 14, 2018), web client says 3.77.4
Player Version#:

I have a perfectly working Plex Server, but now I’d like to rebuild it on another machine (on AWS). I don’t know how to associate the new server with my Plex account (bdemchak@gmail.com, userID bdemchak1), and I’d like to remove the working Plex Server (called Barry’s Plex Experiment).

The new machine is Ubuntu 18, and I think I have Plex Server installed properly on it. I’m uncertain, though, because my systemctl status shows a problem with the Plex Tuner Service:

Feb 26 20:20:42 ip-172-31-26-38 systemd[1]: Starting Plex Media Server for Linux…
Feb 26 20:20:42 ip-172-31-26-38 systemd[1]: Started Plex Media Server for Linux.
Feb 26 20:20:57 ip-172-31-26-38 Plex Tuner Serv[1112]: Plex Tuner Service: Critical: libusb_init failed

Supposing that doesn’t matter, and that I have opened port 32400, I try to connect to the server at http://ec2-54-190-197-149.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:32400 from my local browser. This works, but it tries to connect to the old server (which is down), and it doesn’t know about the new server (called Plex Experiment).

I gather that server should be auto-registering with my plex.tv account, but it seems like it’s not doing it. Is my plex.tv account alright? The login is bdemchak@gmail.com and the user is bdemchak1.

I’m not picky … resetting this account to a clean state would be fine with me … or is there something else I should be doing??

Sorry for the trouble.
