2 Reinstall the operating system and reinstall the Autodesk product.
3 Paste the license folder to the same location from which you originally
copied the folder in step 1.
You can now run your Autodesk product.
Changing the System Date and Time
Your product license allows for time changes to the system clock within two
days of the current time. If you set your system clock back or forward more
than two days, the next time you start your product, you will see a reminder
to correct the system clock. If you do not correct the system clock, you receive
a license error.
To prevent a license error, ensure that the system date and time on your
computer are accurate when you install and activate your Autodesk product.
Distributing a Software Image to Multiple Computers
You can use the installer's Create Deployment option to create a product
installation image on your server, and make it available on your computer
network. During creation of this image, you are prompted for registration
information, which is stored with the image and deployed to all product
installations. For more information, see the Network Administration Guide.
Additionally, you can manually distribute the software using the installation
media that comes with your Autodesk product. However, if your computers
do not have an Internet connection, make sure that the registration data for
each computer matches exactly. Inconsistent registration data can cause
activation failures.
NOTE The distribution of applications using “ghosting” is not recommended. It
can result in incomplete installations and activation problems.
Preserving a License on a Re-imaged Computer
On a network license server, licenses are maintained on the server. No
additional steps are needed to preserve network licenses.
