As Thomas said, if you transfer them and delete them for the original
machine it will work.

The SNMPv3 keys are tied to the SNMPv3 engineID, which is unique per
box.  Because our snmpd.conf file has the engineID in it if you
transferred the entire file then the new machine would take over both
the engineID and the keys.

But here's the important part: you MUST NOT use the same engineID on
two different boxes on the network.
