Migration of licence servers for Mathematica and NAG

 
Description: 

The licence servers used for Mathematica and NAG will be migrated to new hardware on Monday 26/3 and Wednesday 28/3. This operation should be fully transparent for all Mathematica users who have clients correctly configured to point to both the primary and backup licence server. (lxlic04 and lxlic05 in the file "mathpass".) 

The backup licence server, lxlic05 will be migrated on Monday afternoon from 2pm. The primary licence server, lxlic04, will be migrated on Wednesday from 9am.  During these operations, all licences will be served by the other server. 

The dedicated Mathematica installation in BE/CO for accelerator tuning and operation is not affected, as it uses a dedicated licence server.
