Hi. We used to have a network licence for 1200 computers (Education Master Suite). With the new Academic Resource Center, we are limited to 125 seats so we got 10 licences (10 serial numbers). I usally use deployment packages that have the serial number embedded in them. Wow do you suggest I manage now? Do I need to make 10 different distribution packages and keep track of how many I install? Or can I put the same serial number everywhere and let the license serveur manage the distribution of the licences? Thanks a lot for your help with this new system.

That is not necessary. The deployment does not take into consideration the serial number when the application is launched. So long as you use a valid serial number and point to the NLM, you will get an available license.
Thanks a lot: thats good news! It will make it much easier.
But I guess I still have to generate a licence file for each one of the serial numbers (via https://registeronce.autodesk.com), and add these to my license file on the nlm?
That's correct. So long as you do them all on the same date, then they will properly combine to the correct grand total of licenses that you own. Otherwise, only the newest file will supersede the older ones.
For the best method to properly combine your license files, please read my entire thread here and choose the method that best fits your needs:
