Stand alone licenses to Network Licenses

[Anonymous]

When switching stand alone licenses to Network licenses, does each client computer have to have the software reinstalled? Or is there a way to modify the stand alone licenses to look at the license manager without having to re-install?

This is for LDT, but my question applies also to general AutoCAD or ADT.

Thanks,

I believe there is a way to switch an install, however it's probably easier
(and less of a headache) to just uninstall and reinstall the network
deployment.

Actually just one registry hack.
Go to the licensing and networking newsgroup and search.

But changing it this way will not reflect a change in S/N, if your
standalone and network serial numbers are different.
