Here's a doc you definitely want:

As someone currently migrating devices from Classic to NG, here's some "big picture" items - a 10,000 foot view - let's call this Things I Wish I'd Understood Better Beforehand:
Tips:
For a clearer understanding of all the 'redirector' business, check out the last 2 pages of the PDF I linked above, it explains the various ways that Aerohive devices can locate their HiveManager;

He will need device inventory permissions (needed both for export and for removing devices from the hive) in order to remove the devices from the hive so they can be added to his new NG hivemanager, so your best route right now is to get super user priveliges or you are going to be dead in the water during the migration anyway.

If you don't see the device inventory that usually means you aren't logged in as the super user (a good way to check is to see if you can enter entitlement keys, if you can, you are a super admin).
Another work around would be to do a configuration export from classic and import it in to HiveManager (formerly NG), this will bring your device inventory and maps over for you in to NG.

Well that's confidence inspiring in the platform. I have touched aerohive periodically, so don't not the granular differences like this, but seems I'm running an out of date or irregular version of even the old hivemanager - not sure how that happens in a cloud managed environment.
I'd really like to just move on, but seems we'll have to do this the hard way of importing the ap's and renaming them.

2. I would suggest using the Copytables extension for Chrome to copy the table data instead, but that doesn't get you much further..... missing the Device Inventory button means you also don't have a "remove" option to remove the devices from inventory, so you need to get this fixed before you can proceed

This was good info, and working on this for a customer, but I'm finding my old hivemanager instance is missing the device inventory button to export the CSV of the AP details from the directions, and can't seem to find anything comparable. Any thoughts where to produce the export of the devices from now?
