Distribute Network Licensed Products
You can use a master image to distribute network licensed products.
To distribute a network licensed product to multiple computers using a master
image
1 Create a network deployment for a network licensed product. For more
information, see
Create a Deployment (page 20).
2 Install the product from the deployment onto the master computer.
NOTE A license server must be running, and each computer must be
connected to the network in order for the product to obtain a license.
3 After the product has been installed, use imaging software to create a
master image of the system's hard drive.
4 Apply the master image to the target computers.
Restore the Master Image
The following procedure assumes that you have saved a copy of each
computer’s AdLM folder (and Product Licenses folder, if present) to another
computer or an external drive before you reformat the computer.
To restore a product using a master image
1 Exit any running application. Do not run the application again until
after you have completed this procedure.
2 In Windows Explorer, copy the AdLM folder from the appropriate path
shown below to a location other than the disc that will be restored.
%programdata%\FLEXnet
3 Reformat the computer and restore the master image.
NOTE Do not perform a low-level format of the hard drive.
4 Copy the AdLM folder that you created in step 2 to its original location
on the reformatted computer.
