Issue
The usage data is lost after a move to a new installation of System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager or Service Provider Foundation.

This is a known limitation. You also cannot more usage data to a different cloud. If a change is necessary, we recommend deleting all subscriptions and plans and then re-recreating them after the move.
