Some of us that have worked with Maya and Smoke, the network license files on the Mac are located in the following directories:
Maya License Server: /var/flexlm/adskflex_server.lic
Mac Client: /var/flexlm/maya.lic
Smoke License Server: /usr/local/flexnetserver/adsk_server.lic
Smoke License Client: /var/flexlm/autodesk.lic
For AutoCAD, it is located here:
*AutoCAD License Server: /usr/local/flexnetserver/adsk_server.lic
AutoCAD Client: /Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2012/AutoCAD.app/Contents/licpath.lic
When configuring a license server on the Mac, you can put the license file anywhere but it's best to put it in: /usr/local/flexnetserver.
You need to know the location of the client license file in order to change the license server name if you make an error during the intial installation of the software.

I also found this post from one of our resellers quite helpful as well. If you are using AutoCAD on Mac and you are using a license server that is Windows based, you should use the IP address of the Windows computer. I would even use this Best Practice if the license server was on a Mac as well.
