Distributed servers, one is replaced; deployment setup

Question 1:
Using AutoCAD 2005. In a distributed server model with servers A1, B1,
and C1. If I replace server A1 with a new server, A2, I'll get a new
set of license files for all three servers. The question is, are the
license files for B1 and C1 different such that the old ones need to be
updated and re-read?

Question 2:
When I created the deployment for 2005, I set it up as a single-server
model, and it has been installed on a bunch of machines. I now want to
replace the licenses with the distributed model. What do I need to do
to each machine to have them pull licenses from the other servers?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi Danny,
Q1: you only need to change out the license file for the server that
changed.
Q2: Set an environment variable on the workstations as follows:
ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=@A2;@B1;@C1

Search the Autodesk Support knowledgebase on ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE for more
information.
