Yes, Autodesk has messed up the education software this year. I install the autodesk software at quite a few schools (I work for a consulting firm). It seems like every school that I'm at, the software is not registered with autodesk, so it's not just you...if that makes you feel any better

Oops I should said also that this is using the DVD or CD's on a local machine.

If your using imaging software (Ghost), the new deployments in the 2008 Autodesk software will let you install the network deployment software on a standalone machine. Just make sure when you get to the point where you need to pick "configure" it will go through a wizard. By default, it points to standalone install, but you can pick network install. At this point you would put the ip or name of the license server. It works very well.
