Changing name and ownership of /usr/sys/"MYHOST"

We are adding a database report writing tool for our database application.
(Safari Info Tools with Datatel and UniData). In order to get the
server component of this software working the vendor has instructed me to
rename /usr/sys/"MYHOST" to it's full node name (MYHOST.WHATEVER.EDU) and
to change the ownership of this directory from root to bin.

The problem prompting this change was that after entering the new software
auth codes to extend our license. I received the following error when
attempting to run the report writing software:

Could not determine the Serial Number for ID check.

Is it ok to follow the vendor's instructions or might this have some
unexpected and unwanted side effects?

TIA for any help.

Rob
