  Encryption key - do I need to restore it or not ?

  I am testing some SSRS migration process. I noticed if I migrate from a server to a different server, I do need to restore encryption key after restore the report dbs.

  But if I just change an existing server from one name to another , even I don't restore the encryption key, the reports still works. Is that correct?
