For a stand-alone license, you need to export the license before re-imaging
the computer. You can use the License Transfer Utility to export the license
to the Autodesk server. After the re-imaging, import the license to the correct
computer.
Restoring Access to a Term License
The most common reasons for being denied access to a term-licensed Autodesk
product are as follows:
■ The user ID you entered does not represent an authorized user. To change
or check permissions, see your license administrator. Other options in this
situation are to enter the user ID for an authorized user, or to enter a
different serial number that associates the user ID with a valid contract.
■ The term contract has expired. To extend your contract, see your license
administrator. Another option in this situation is to enter a different serial
number that associates your user ID with a valid contract.

Understanding License Server Models
This section explains the three possible server models that support the Network
License Manager. A server network can include Windows, Mac OS X, and
Linux servers in any combination. Advantages and disadvantages of each
model are presented to help you decide which one best suits your needs. When
you purchase a network license, you specify which server model you will use.
Single License Server Model
In the single license server model, the Network License Manager is installed
on a single server, so license management and activity is restricted to this
server. A single license file represents the total number of licenses available
on the server.
