No, you don't need to authorize the AdLM itself. You do need the server
code that is generated, you get this through the AdLM Admin tool, and your
autocad serial number(s) to get authorization codes for your autocad
licenses. Once you get the authorization codes for you autocad licenses
then you just enter those in the AdLM Admin tool. You will only ever need
to re-authorize the codes for you licenses if the server code changes. The
server code can change if you change certain pieces of hardware, like a NIC,
or if you change the IP address, as well as various other things.
If you ever plan on performing any work or upgrades on the AdLM server, just
write down what the current server code is as well as any changes that you
make to the server. Once you are done making your changes check to see if
the server code changed. If it didn't you are in the free and clear, if it
did then you have to re-authorize your licenses.
