What about the exponent reservations? GIMPS will still think that the old computer is working on them, when in fact the new computer will be working on them and reporting the results.

Answering my own question:

Once the new computer reports the expected completion dates to GIMPS, it will know that those exponents are now assigned to the new computer.

As long as you have the correct assignment key, the server will think whichever computer last reported those assignments is the one working on them.
