[UW-GIS-L] dongle-less license installation

[Phil Hurvitz]

I got it to work flawlessly on a few 9.3 installations, but it required 
getting the newer version of the license server that will handle MAC 
address rather than sentinel key. On the machine I'm sitting at right 
now, which uses the keyless server there's no such file as what you had.
