If you read the text at the link in your post you'll find under NOT required to get a new EIN...."An LLC that already has an EIN chooses to be taxed as a corporation or as an S corporation."......so an LLC that makes an S election doesn't need a new EIN if the LLC already has one.
I got my ein for my sole prop in 2006. It's under my personal name with a dba name attached to it. From my understanding, that's not an LLC EIN. If you apply for an EIN and pick LLC, the first line on your EIN doc is your LLC name, not your personal name, like it for my 2006 sole prop filing. That's why I think I needed to do it. Hopefully this works out ok.
