RTM: license server name truncated

A license server name longer 45 char which is truncated when I
save it in the lic add form.

It seems this is due to the server_name filed of the lic_services table
limited to 45 char when name field in many others table (like
lic_servers) are limited to 100 char.

Is it possible to increase the field size to 100 char ?

The solution has been tested , it works fine. There is possible side effects !

mysql> desc lic_servers;
+------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

| name | varchar(100) | NO | PRI | | |


mysql> desc lic_services;
+----------------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+

| server_name | varchar(45) | NO | | | |
