Hiya,
Unless I've misunderstood your question, your new MAC Key will be different to the first one you used. They're all unique each time a new one is generated.“Official Company Representative

No, your MAC won't be the same.
A MAC is valid for 30 days, so even if you don't use the issued MAC and you request another one, that MAC will be different.
So it's almost 100% certainty that when you migrate again and request a MAC that MAC will be completely different to the previous MAC.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0
