I have deployed Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) on 4 db's that are all on the same server in the same instance. I backed up the service master key 4 times for each db with 4 different passwords.

I now realize that there is only one SMK. Will I be able to restore those 4 db's to a new sql server instance, even though the 4 smk file all have different passwords?

Regards
