No, I did not know that you can copy keys between machines.  I guess
that means that I could also then use the same key from different
machines simultaniously.  I don't know what gave me the obviously false
impression that there was some system-specific information within the
key that was used during validation, something similar to the
fingerprint of the host key.

Thank you for clairifing!  Yet I still prefer using the new key.

Cheers,
