Are you trying to do it as the dsadm user?
At worst case, you can do a 'reinstall' of the server with the new auth code.

No, you won't lose anything. In the past, that was the
only way to change or upgrade the license information. From what I recall, it's not until 7.5.x that we were given a way to just update the license information...

Can you set your server machine date back a few days, update the license key and then move the date forward again?

Please qualify "all". For example, I don't know how SAP licensing works.
