2)other option migrate sql server 2008 r2 has 10gb capacity limit, found that not recommended ??
anyway need make backup of susdb , not sure how.
3)is enough stop sql services , copy susdb.mdf, susdb.ldf files ?
could me answering problems?
>>other option migrate sql server 2008 r2 has 10gb capacity limit, found that not recommended ??<<
nope, sql 2008 r2 has no restrictions - sql server express 2008 r2 has database size limitation of 10 gb.
>>what cals need 1 wsus server or every connecting client?<<
not strong in licensing, afaik:
if sql server licensed per-processor licensing, no licensing required; if not wsus clients must have sql cal.

you can try following (i never tested scenario):
- backup susdb.mdf, susdb_log.ldf
- uninstall wsus removing database saving content
- install wsus wid database
- stop update services
- from sql management studio conenct wid (\\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query) , detach existing database
- move backed susdb.mdf, susdb_log.ldf "your directory"
- from management studio attach susdb.mdf
or easy way
install new wsus wid, make replica of existing synchronize (all updates, approves , groups synchronize)
after synchronization make new wsus upstream, assigned clients on via gp, , remove old wsus.
