LMtools-Redundant License Server

[GDI_cdixon]

Hello,
First, I am a newbie to network deployment please be understanding 🙂

I recently created deployment for Autodesk 3Ds Max using redundant License Server (we use 3 servers), requested and added the 3DMax license file information into our current license file and deployed software. All working great!!!!

I need change a server that is in my pool of 3 servers. I am just trying to make sure I understand how to accomplish this.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think I need to request a new license file that includes my new server name and mac address removing the old server. Once I have this file I believe I will apply this new license file to all three servers in my pool.

Questions?
Will my current installed clients (autodesk 2007 & 3dMax) recognize the new server or will I need to redeploy software?
Will my current deployment packages for autodesk 2007 & 3dMax need to be changed?
Do I need to create a new deployment or edit my existing deployment for the change to apply?

Any help would be appreciated....

Thank you

I know when I created the Autodesk 3Ds Max deployment I had to specify which servers were the license servers.

First of all, for a newbie you have a good grasp of things. You are correct. You do need to get a new redundant license file for your new server and then add the file to all of the existing servers. You can then retire your old one.



Now, as for you existing installations, they should be fine. You can and should, however, modify the LICPATH.LIC file in the Autodesk application root and provide the correct information. You can also do this with System Environment variables as well. But for the most part, everything should be fine on those. You will not need to redeploy, thankfully.



As for your deployment, you can simply modify them and point to the correct set of servers. That should be all it takes for future installations to be correct.



Should be fairly easy. Good Luck!
