3.12 did not support the additive license.  There is a way to remove a license 
and I think it is from the INSTALL program.  If you need the exact steps, I 
can do it and get back to you.  As far as ArcServe is conserned, you are 
pretty much stuck with the way they do their license.  I prefer software that 
doesn't need to match the user count of the server, especially with 4.1 if you 
bump up the user count.  When I migrated from 3.12 to 4.1, I also switched 
from ArcServe to Arcada Backup Exec Enterpricese Edition.
