My license server is being retired, so I have to migrate thelicenses and dongle over to a new machine.

That was acomplished with minimal headaches.

Rather than have to run from computer to computer and have tochange the License Server info inthe SNL Manager, I wrote thefollowing Group Policy Administrative Template to set the LicenseServer entry across the entire domain.

To use this file:

1. Extract the file that is in the attached zip file. Place itanywhere convenient.
   
2. Open the Group Policy Object that deploys SolidWorks (or createa new one if you want...)
   
3. Right click on the "Administrative Templates" section (itdoesn't matter which one) and choose "Add/Remove Templates"
   
4. Browse to the location of the file attached to this post, andselect it.
   
5. Select the "Administrative Template" folder that is under"Computer Configuration"
   
6. Click "Filtering" from the View menu, and uncheck the option"Only show policy settings that can be fully managed"
   
7. Now, if you open up the "Administrative Templates" folder, youshould see a folder titled "SolidWorks Settings." Select thatfolder in the left pane, and you will see an entry in the rightpane for "License Server."
   
8. Double click on that License Server entry, select the "Enabled"option at the top, and fill in your Lincese server port and name,and click OK.

Once you have done this, your computers will all pick up the newlicense server value when they refresh their group policies... Theeasiest way to kick off a refresh is to run "GPUpdate" from acommand prompt.

Hope this helps someone,
