Joining Licenses into 1 file

[mcintyre]

I am a newbie to managing Autocad licensing.  We have recently had an upgrade to Autocad 2012 .  I have installed it on a virtual machine and it has been working well for the past 3 months.  We have had an additional purchase (which is not linked to the original) and because of the different end dates, we have been issued a new /different license number. 

I have read some articles which say I can join the licenses into 1 to avoid having to repoint all of the clients (200) to the new license.

My questions:

1.  Can this be done with the newer versions of Autocad?
2.  If I can - do I have to generate the license on the same server?

3.  Can anyone point me to some instructions on how to do it?

4.  If I cannot do any of the previous, is there a script that I can run to easily change the client workstations to point to the new server?

Any help here would be great.

Here you can see how it works to join FlexNet license files.
