I just successfully finished migrating a pair of PA-500 to a pair of PA-3020, exporting and loading the configuration file.
I have checked the configuration file and I couldn't find the API key. Is someone able to confirm if the API key is included in the configuration file or if I have to generate a new API key and install the new key in the servers.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for the confirmation. One more question please, if I have the API key (stored in a different server), is there a way to upload it to the FW?
