source location : /ckr_mkr1/licencekey/1.txt
Destination location : /ckr_mkr5*/licencekey/1.txt (eg : ckr_mkr3, ckr_mkr4,ckr_mkr5.....ckr_mkr40)

Code:
find . -type f -name "1.txt" -exec cp "{}" -nR /ckr_mkrlive*/licencekey/

using the copy command
Code:
cp -nr /ckr_mkr*/licencekey/

The find command provides a list of files/directories according to some criteria. To use it you must do it the other way round, i.e. let it provide a list of directories to copy a fixed file to, like this:

Code:
find /start/dir -type d -name "<name-pattern>" -exec cp /a/fixed/file.txt {} \;

If you have a list of files you want to copy you can do that by enclosing the command in a loop:

Code:
for filetocopy in /some/where/* ; do
     find /start/dir -type d -name "<name-pattern>" -exec cp "$filetocopy" {} \;
done

I hope this helps.
