Hello Rob,
Unfortunately, using LS-120 drives to install client add packs will not
work. My recollection is that sharing a floppy drive over the network also
does not work, although I cannot confirm this for certain. (it would be a
quick test, however)
If that fails, the other option as Javier mentioned previously is to
temporarily add a regular 1.44 MB floppy drive to add the client licenses.
