We will be changing the network IPs for one of our customers sites where their Sage 100 Contractor server is. Are there any concerns with doing this as far as client connections?

The SAGE Contractor 100 server will need to have it's IP address changed as part of this change.

Will we need to reinstall the Sage Contractor 100 client and change the license server IP if the license server is on the SAGE 100 Contractor server, or are there any other connection issues we can expect in doing this?

    Not with an IP Address change.  The clients will connect to the License Server by IP Address, or by Computer Name (Sage's installation documents and the install process recommend by IP Address).  The clients then connect to the Database using Server Name\SQL Instance Name.

    So, after the Server IP Address change, you will likely need to update the connection to the License Server (which you'll be prompted to do when it cannot find it at the old address).

    Todd,  Thank You Very Much!  We also have a Sage client update to do so I was thinking it may be decent timing to change the IP address and update the client with the new license IP at the same time or the morning after.  Not sure if this would help or not.  Any thoughts on that?

    It would make sense to perform both together. I'd change the IP Address of the server, then perform the update where you will be required to specify the IP address anyway.  You'd have everybody out of the software to perform either/both anyway, so together they would be out one time.  Also, any software update would have to be performed at the server as well as the clients.
