Glad it worked Nathan!

The default behavior of the licensing mechanism is that it looks for the
ESRI_LICENSE_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable first. If it finds
that then it will use it. So either make sure you have the environment
variable set correctly or just delete it entirely and use the Desktop
Administrator.

Luke Rogers very helpfully suggested that I remove the ESRI_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable from my systems -- worked like a charm.

So, if anyone else has weird problems setting the license server name, just
make sure that environment variable is not present...

thanks!
