How to move (migrate) a license server?
We are having a few issues here at our Company regarding our AutoCad server
I would like to migrate my licenses from an old server to a new license server.
How to move them?
Thanks
Hi there Conor,
According to AutoCad Knowledge Base you can follow the following procedure to change your license server:
- You will need to setup a license server. Please review the steps below:
- You will need to get a new license file for your products. Our license files are coded to MAC addresses of the new computer See: General Licensing: Requesting a network license online
- Configure LMTOOLS for the new license.
- Update your deployments to point to the new server.
- Update your client computers and make sure your existing installations point to the new server. See: General Licensing: ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE environment variable location in Windows registry.
- Right-click the My Computer icon.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Click Environment Variables.
- Under the System Variables window, click New.
- In the Variable name field enter ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE
- In the Variable value field enter @YOUR COMPUTER NAME
- Click Okay.
- You can also update your client computers by editing the licpath.lic files in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\
- Retire the old license server.
Hope this helps 🙂
