I have migrated a Windows 2000 Server image to different hardware. The image runs AutoDesk License Manager for AutoCad 2002 workstations on the LAN.Workstations are now getting an error relating to licensing.I have had a look at the license file and I can see that the MAC address of the NIC is included. Have made a copy of the license file and tried updating the MAC address using notepad - although the format of the license file looks fine - when you view through that crap utility LMTOOLS the Ethernet address appears to be duplicated and is enclosed in quotes e.g. '001d7d4ef5 001d7d4ef5f4' in the battery.lic file the Ethernet address is only entered once.I have tried another text file editor but with the same result, it appears that a 'special' editor is required to update the file.The Version of LMTOOLS is v7.1f - I mention that because it does not work very well either on the original machine (which I still have at the moment) nor the new box. The only tabs that work are: Service/License File and System Settings. Selecting any other tab like Server Status or Server Diagnostics causes LMTOOLS to abend.The customer no longer has maintenance with AutoDesk and is reluctant to do so as the quote is prohibitive.

I need to try and resolve this issue myself. Autocad 2002 and FlexLM are linked to the hardware of your server by the MAC address only. This is the only identifying feature you sent to Autodesk to get the License file initially. You should lodge a request with Autodesk (via you dealer) for a new licence file to match you new MAC address. Autocad 2002 is at End of Life, so Iam not sure how that would work out for you.From AutoCAD 2002 Network Licensing (word document) on the Autodesk site.:'The Autodesk FLEXlm implementation uses the Network Adapter MAC address for authentication. Network administrators can adjust network properties on license manager systems without reauthorization as long as the authenticating adapter remains installed on the system and the hostname does not change.'

As an alternative, you can move the network card to the new server and the license file will work fine. The MAC address is the only authentication used.

The card doesn't even been to be used, just in the server.I wouldn't recommend it but you could also try using a utility to clone the MAC on the new machine so it matches your license file.By the way, ANDREWB gave you the correct answer, you should at least credit him with the solution even if it's not the answer you were looking for, it is the correct answer. Doesn't seem like a lot of these CAD questions ever give credit to those that respond.

Typical 'I want the impossible' type mentality with no thanks for consideration for those that take the time replying.
