1) Physically move that FlexLM adlm. You can do this a couple of ways. You can take the network card out of the "test" machine
and put it in the new computer, install the flex software and copy the license file to the new computer. Change the license file to
agree with the new machine's name, set up the service, just like before, and the server is ready to issue licenses.
2) Modify the clients. If you've already deployed the software to all of the machines that will be using ADT (and assuming that
you've taken the defaults) then you just need to modify the licpath.lic file in the same folder as the acad.exe. The contents of the
licpath.lic file are simply
SERVER servername 1234567890AB
USE SERVER
Where SERVER is just required text
servername is the name of the adlm server
1234567890AB is supposed to be the ethernet address of the adlm server's network card but it makes absolutely no difference what's
there as long as it is a 12 digit hex number
USE SERVER more required text.
You should be able to replace the existing licpath.lic on the clients through a login script or some such thing.
If you haven't deployed yet you are supposed to make a new deployment using the netsetup thingy (but I might have a "hack" for that,
it will be in the "unsupported zone").

need to change the license manager over to a new computer. What is the easiest way to do this. If at all possible I would like to do
this at the client level, such as just changing an ini file to look for a different MAC address or IP address for the server.
