Moving license servers 1

[looslib]

We have subscriptions to AutoCAD and have decided to put them all on a different server than they were on last year.
How do I go into AutoCAD and tell it to use the new server instead of the old one?

With other software using FlexLM, I have a file that contains the license server port@name and I only have to change the name and relaunch the app.I cannot find a file in the AutoCAD install folders that holds this configuration setting. I looked by date as the software was loaded a few months ago but I only used it for the first time the other day.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Since no one answered, I did some further digging.
The license file location is in a registry key.

To change the server that AutoCAD looks for, run RegEdit and change the ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE key located in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FLEXlm License Manager

Thank you Looslib,
For coming back and supplying the resolution when we couldn't.
I hope that I never need to know this information.
But if I do...
