New computer has conflict with old computer

My old computer is named 2017 iMac. I bought a new computer and loaded my new computer from a Time Machine backup. I re-named the new computer 2019 iMac. There is a Plex server on both, either one works, but not together. I suspect there is a network addressing conflict, caused by the cloned files. They are both on the same local network. Each server uses its own media HD to populate their Plex libraries. How can I resolve this so both servers are available in the Plex dashboard?

Thank you!

Hello Otto,
Thanks for responding. After deleting the keys are they regenerated when I reboot? Will I need to reinstall Plex?

Cheers!

Restart the machine. Then you will have to sign-in this server to your account again.
Give it a different “friendly name” as well.

Thank you very much. I will do so and report back. Thank you very much for your help and have a great Christmas!

That worked perfectly! Thanks again, my friend!
