AutoCad licenses

Hi, this small business is growing at a pretty good rate.  Therefore, we have a lot of standalone licenses.  Can we take those licenses and place them on a license server to manage the autocad environment?  What are the steps?  Just read this article for license installation issues.  I'm just thinking there's got to be a better way to manage these license issues.

As for the license manager, have you tried the download instead of installing from a CAD disc?

Ok, I'm working on a list of licenses and what was the source the client used to obtain those licenses
Excellent. Hopefully they all came from the same source. That will make your life far easier. Worst case, you may have to work directly with Autodesk.
In the standalone ACAD environment, we have 4 Maintenance (owned license) Contract  (legacy option).   ACAD allows for license manager in a rental or subscription agreement.  We have one license for that.

Ah, does the program not open if they are off the grid?  VPN connection required for license manager?
