Change AutoCAD from standalone to network
I post this for my own memory as with much else on this blog but it might as well be useful for you. Use the registry and change Type at this location. (change the x depending on version and vertical/flavor. For example AutoCAD 2007 is R17.0\ACAD-5001:409).
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Rxx.x\ACAD-xxxx:xxx\AdLM] "Type"=dword:00000019
19=network license NLM
2a=standalone licence SLM
Using the registry hack with AutoCAD 2009 and later the cascading licensing service doesn’t install, so cascading will not work when converted from SLM to NLM. If you install network version and convert to SLM then PLU doesn’t install and user will not be able to transfer his license.
See also Change AutoCAD network to standalone to network on how to get the cascading licensing service installed.

This is something new with AutoCAD 2010 as the registry key values have changed.

No longer is there a 2a=stand-alone and 19=network. Now it is simply 1=network 2=stand-alone.
Any news on this front for 2011 versions?
Not sure, either how it is for AutoCAD 2011 or AutoCAD 2012.
2012: 1=Network, 2=Stand-alone
