Autodesk License Manager and VIZ4 and ADT2005

First, I apologize from cross-posting this, but I'm not sure who will know
the answer, so here is the subject:

We currently have this installed for Autodesk VIZ 4, utilizing FlexLM for 3
licenses of VIZ 4.
As I was about to installed my ADT2005 version, I noticed that the Autodesk
Licensing Manager wants to go into the same folder currently used by the VIZ
4 manager.

My questions are:
1. Is this ok? Should I go ahead and install over this folder?
2. Should I uninstall this older version first, then install the newer one?
3. How will either of the above effect my VIZ 4 licensing?

Thanks!

Hi Reid,

you need to stop your existing license manager, uninstall it (after
uninstall your VIZ license still resides in the same location) , install new
NLM from the ADT 2005 CD to the same old location, then get license for ADT
and combine them together so, you will be able to use ADT and VIZ.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
I had read a bunch of other messages about this and they all seem to say the
same thing, so we are going to give it a try tomorrow morning.

The IT "Guy" knows more about the network stuff, so we are doing it
together.

Sorry about cross-answering. Answer is in the ADT 2005 NG. Actually it
follows the lines Efim told you about.
Make a backup of the folder.
Stop the license managers services
Uninstall the old one
Install the new one
Combine the license files
Start the license manager services

You might also manually update the files found on the CD:
\ADT\Support\nlm\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager
Stop the license managers services
Update the files
Combine the license files
Start the license manager services
