I believe when you go to reinstall Autocad it will have the option to install as a Stand Alone version or on a Server.
The installation disk should automaticly run you through the steps.
Also do a search on this blog and Autodesks web site.

Install the license server software, then obtain a new license file from your reseller (you will need to give them the MAC address and hostname of your new server) - install the LIC file and you are done.

Be sure to point the client machines to the new license server. How to do that using an environment variable can be found here:
