What option are you using, database independent (export/import) or database dependent way (backup/restore) of doing the copy?

Looks to me that you are using database independent (export/import) and choose a wrong option when choosing.

If you are performing an Homogeneous System Copy, no migration key is

needed. The migration key is needed ONLY if you are changing your operating

system or your database version, that is, you are doing an Heterogeneous

System Copy.

Please read the installation guide carefully, if you do any pre-steps wrongly..i.e enter wrong parameters...
