stand-alone switches to network

We just recently moved our license file to a different server. To try to make it as painless as possible we created a batch file that ran when a user logged in and copied the updated licpath.lic to their local drives. We mistakenly forgot about our laptop users who use stand alones. On one laptop autocad is now pulling a license from the server, almost as if the stand alone copy converted itself to a network version. I tried to delete the lic file but autocad won't start. How did this happen and is there a way other than reinstalling to get this user's autocad back to being a stand alone? This is a new one to me. Brian

Hi,

 

what happens if you double-click the link in the
support directory called Autodesk License Manager Settings? Will it let you
switch back to single license?

 

Should!

 

Cheers.

Copy the acad.exe, acad.xmx, acad2000.cfg from a
standalone and write over those files on the network one.
We've turned standalone to network and viceversa this way.
Make sure to copy those files off to the sid e just in case.
