Moving Revit Network License from Windows 2k Server to 2008 64-bit

[BDR_Architect]

We're trying to move our Revit License Server from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2008 64-bit HyperB Server and the client machines will not obtain the license. Anyone have any information on this?

Thanks,

Ben

We just did the same thing. Here are some of the important steps.
1. Obtain all new license files from Autodesk. They're keyed to the name and MAC address or the primary NIC card in the server running FlexLM.
2. In a multiserver environment, you can change the environment variable to include the new server, in a single license server environment don't touch it because it just makes things worse.
3. Turn on FlexLM on the new server and make sure that it is reading the license files correctly, if so, turn off FlexLM on the old server. When each workstation tries to log in, it will prompt you to enter the name of the new server (once, twice, or sometimes three times before it works).


We've almost got it working, except that every morning since we switched I've had to restart the FlexLM service and I don't know why it keeps turning off each night...
