With the Network License Activation Utility it only takes a minute to get a
new license file. Then you don't have to bother about changing network cards
and so on.
When 2006 is released you have to update the license manager files:
adskflex.exe, lmgrd.exe, lmtools.exe and lmutil.exe. It takes a minute to
do. Just stop the license service and copy these files from the CD to the
installation folder and start the service again.
