First, configure the client according to Steps 1-3 in the guide above.

Launch Explorer and go to the following path: C:\Program Files\IronCAD\20XX\bin

When the list is empty, press OK
Now that you have cleaned up the old servers, you no longer need to use lsconfigclient.exe to access the IP address of the network license server.
