Licence manager does not keep new licence servers...?

I work remotely, through a company wide network.  I found the local name for the server no longer works but found I could use the direct IP address instead..not a problem on one machine but then...I tried doing the same thing on another machine and the licence manager does not carry the server acress between tabs, so I can't select the "new" server.

I get this error on starting the licence administrator

My Licence server lsit looks like this, with only the locally named server

I add the same server with the IP address successfully (I get an error if I use a different IP address)

But when I go back to the licence usage tab, still only the original named server is listed.

Can anyone help with this problem?

FYI, On this machine it is SW2011 SP4 on a fresh Windows 7 64 bit setup.
