Using PLU 'Standalone - blocked" license status

Problem probably raised when we were trying to test exporting license (one standalone) with PLU. Three online activation were lost in that action because we did not know about this possibility:-(
Now we have one source workstation with activated AutoCAD Map 3D 2008 with one license with status "standalone - blocked". When we try to move license to second destination workstation process is finishing with message about successful import but opening AutoCad it does not see imported license - wants to activate product. Opening PLU again shows that imported license is corrupted.

We reinstalled AutoCAD on these two machine with cleaning directories and registry entries connected with AutoCAD and getting new activation code but it did not help. License status on source workstation is still "standalone - blocked" and export/import process is unsuccessful.

What does mean "standalone - blocked" license status???
Any suggestions what to do?

"Blocked" status is new to me; I don't know.

There are several reasons the license can become corrupted after a
successful import. One of them is if the system date is different between
the two PCs (by more than a day).

You can always recreate the transfer file or code if necessary by rerunning
the export on the source PC. You will only be able to export to the same PC
as before. I don't think that will help this situation, since you said the
import was successful.

When you have problems like this, call Support or your reseller, not the
Auth Codes department. You've burned through all your online codes before
asking for help.

You can test export/import with just one PC. Export to yourself! This
removes the license from use by the product, and packages it for export.
Import it back, and you're done.

Exactly, I have checked, it is not status "blocked" but license type: "standalone - blocked" - this information can be seen in the Product Information window.
System date is the same on each PC so it is not the issue.
Possibility to recreate the transfer file or code is known to me and it did not help for it.
We have contacted support at the reseller, they advised to refresh AutoCAD installation, but it did not help either.
About testing export/import with just one PC it is a way, we will try it, thanks.

I collected Adlm*.err file from the destination PC, maybe there is something in it about the problem, because there is no message window with error code like x.yy.zz.
Export were tried to two PCs with fresh AutoCAD installation but on each there is the same situation.
