Moving License Manager

[Anonymous]

Right now our License Manager is running on a virtual server. I would like to relocate it. The problem is all of our workstations with ACA point to it. What is the easiest/quickest way to move the LM and get all the ACAs pointed to its new path (copy/paste a new LICPATH.LIC file on all machines?).

Thanks

Ditto! Directions at  http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=9626479&linkID=9240617.

worked perfectly with AutoCad 2010 in a Win XP 32bit installation. However, on the same computer, Rhino is unable to find the the new Flex server after the addition of the system "Environment Variable" of the licnese server.

Any ideas?

You can try a couple of things for the Rhino change.  Since it uses a different vendor, try one of these environment variables:

LM_LICENSE_FILE

-or-

VENDOR_LICENSE_FILE

You will need to replace the vendor keyword with the name of the vendor daemon that Rhino uses to connect to the NLM.  For example, Autodesk uses ADSKFLEX.  So whatever the vendor .exe file is for Rhino, use that as your @SERVERNAME variable.
