You are correct that when you change license server names you will need to update your license file. However, according to the license files that we received, you may not need to ask Aveva for a new license file. You may simply be able to change the name of the server within the file. As long as the MAC address does not change on your license server, you should be okay.
Here is a quote from our Aveva licenses:
#
#NOTE:
# The hostname (1st arg) and optional port address (3rd arg) on the SERVER line,
# and the data in the user_info argument on the INCREMENT lines can be
# changed.
# Any other changes will invalidate this license.
As for additional changes, you will have modify your evars.bat file so that the license manager statement points to the correct name of the server. For example:
if not "%LM_LICENSE_FILE%"=="" goto lmok
set LM_LICENSE_FILE=744@
