you'll probably get a better response in the license and install forum :https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/bd-p/24

why did you go grab an old version of the program?

That is correct, you'll need to uninstall the applications on every machine that you installed it on and reinstall. 

This is the reason Network Licensing is better for education, because if something goes wrong you only have a single machine to troubleshoot (licensing server). I recommend going back to the education community and generate a serial number for network licensing. Rebuild your image or convert the software to network using this method (this can only be done on the master image). It will not work for the machines you imaged already because their licensing module is corrupted. 

The reason you're having this issue in the first place is because you opened the software and activated it on the master image before building the deployment image.

When requesting the license information, choose School: Deploy with Network Server
