How did you install autocad on the local machines? Did you install it from
the CD? If so then you should un-install these and create a "client
deployment". To create the client deployment navigate to the \netsetup
folder on the cd and run setup.exe and select client deployment.

Creating a client deployment will require you to place an "image" somewhere
on a server that all of the clients can see. This image will be used to
install autocad on all of the clients. Installing autocad directly from the
cd and trying to get licenses from the adlm server is not supported.

Sorry I didn't finish my post before I posted...

You'll need to call autodesk to get an "authorization" code. The number
that you will need to call should be in the installation guide. Basically
(after finding the correct number) you will call autodesk, they will ask you
your serial number, address, company name and number of licenses (make sure
that you have all of you acad serial number handy, even previous versions if
this is an upgrade). They will then ask you for your server code. Give it
to them and they will give you back a 9 million (okay it's not really that
long) digit authorization code. On the adlm server you will launch adlm
admin (I think) and type in the authorization code. Your adlm will then be
able to issue licenses.

Thomas -
Here's my recommendation.
Uninstall autocad from the machines where you used the CD to do the
installation.
From the CD's \netsetup folder run setup.exe and create a client deployment.
Create an installation image on a server that everyone has access to. You
can select different options that you want installed on the client (just
like you were doing a local install, and all the clients are installed the
same).
On each of the clients run the exe located in the root of the share that you
created the installation image on. Make sure that when you are running the
installation on the clients you are using an account with administrative
privileges.
