    1. You cannot load BE 2012 onto Server 2012. This is not supported. To load BE onto Server 2012, you need to upgrade to BE 2014. This upgrade is free if you are on a current maintenance contract.

You can install BE onto a new server with your existing licence keys, but make sure you uninstall BE from the old server.
