<p>I've just realised that when I duplicate my boilerplate Craft site to start a new client project, I haven't been deleting the license.key file as per the <a href="https://craftcms.com/support/duplicating-a-craft-site" rel="nofollow">docs here</a>. What are the potential problems here? Does Craft regenerate a key file if it's already used, or have I somehow licensed a single key multiple times?</p>

I've just realised that when I duplicate my boilerplate Craft site to start a new client project, I haven't been deleting the license.key file as per the [docs here](https://craftcms.com/support/duplicating-a-craft-site). What are the potential problems here? Does Craft regenerate a key file if it's already used, or have I somehow licensed a single key multiple times?
