Jason -
Well, I don't know if it is a "compelling reason" or not, but all of our
servers - except the AutoCAD server - have been migrated to Win2k, and at some
point I feel I have to bring tis server to the same level. I have also become
fond - if I can go that far - of Active Directory, it has made my life a lot
simpler from an administrative viewpoint. Having to maintain a trust
relationship back to the old domain is kind of a pain.
I'm not THAT concerned about having to get a new code per se, but the
problem is that Autodesk is in a later time zone, I am in NJ, and if I need a
code, I can't do it first thing in the morning because they aren't there yet.
If I try to do it at night, I have to wait for everyone to leave, and there's
no guarantee that will happen, and I will be able to finish the upgrade, AND
get the code before Autodesk is closed. So I'm faced with people being unable
to get into Autocad during normal hours. Anyway, you get the
idea...
