CF9 licensing question

Question

I currently have a CF7 production server and I want to build a new server and upgrade to CF9. My question is if I can setup the new server and test my site using the trial version of CF9. When I'm ready to make the new version live will I be able to insert my new license key and I assume my old cf7 key to make the upgrade valid onto the new server?Is this the recommened procedure for upgrading to a new version of CF and moving to a new server at the same time?

I'm also understand that the CF9 license allows it to be loaded onto another server for use in redundancy. I would not have the old server running in production but waiting ready in case the production server goes off line for any reason. Is this within the limits of the license?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
