Nope.  License is in the SERVER.EXE file, one file, one license.

Checkt he Install, you can remove or add licenses.

Since the license is on diskette, you would remove the first license,
install the second, then connect to the network again.

That's the way ArcServe chose to run it, take it up with them.  Or
switch to Arcada, faster, better, easier and one copy per server, no
