Update Autodesk Network License Manager for 2011 release of Autodesk products

This is how to update Acresso’s FlexNet from a Previous Version according to AutoCAD Installation/Licensing Help:

The 2011 release of Autodesk products and later require FlexNet version 11.7.0.0 or later. If you are currently using a version of FlexNet that is earlier than 11.7.0.0, you need to upgrade to version 11.7.0.0 or later.

Note: If the server where you plan to install the Autodesk Network License Manager has FlexNet installed for another product, make sure that the version of lmgrd.exe is the most current version.To determine what version of FlexNet is installed, you need to verify the version of the following files: lmgrd.exe, lmtools.exe, lmutil.exe, adskflex.exe
