Transfer MDM pairing record to new computer

Hi,


I used Configurator 2 to create a supervised MDM profile on my iPhone, with pair-locking enabled. The laptop that my phone was pair-locked to broke down, but luckily I had backed up the /var/db/lockdown/<uuid>.plist pairing record. After restoring the file on my new laptop into the right location I'm still not able to pair my phone with my laptop, I suspect because in addition to the various cryptographic keys the file also contains some laptop-specific fields (glancing through the file I see things like WiFiMacAddress, SystemBUID, and HostID, which are all different on my new laptop).


Does anyone know of a way I can keep the keys/certs in the file but otherwise update the file to allow my phone to pair with my new laptop?


Thanks very much,

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 11.2.2
