Hi

I am looking to do a new installation of Centova on a new server. I currently have an install running on a server already which I am looking to decommission then use the new sever.

My question, is it possibly form a centova cast point of view to build the new server then it will be given the IP address of the existing server when the old one is turned off. Are there any trip ups you can see with the function of Centova with me doing this? Licensing or any settings within Centova that might trip me up?

I just did exactly what you are attempting and this is what I did.
I installed Ubuntu18.08 bare server
Installed Apache2
Installed Mariadb server and set up secure loging
Installed PHP7.2
Installed Fail2Ban
Set-up IP Tables
Installed Centova

The only difference is that I have 3 IPs on my server and got a new IP so I had to reissue my license which you might have to to anyway.
