The Autodesk License Manager can be installed on any machine with a supported operating system, the machines running Autodesk software just need be able to communicate with it, and it needs to be on all the time. For this reason, an existing server is typically chosen to run the license manager. It is a lightweight utility, so server performance will not be impacted.
