gives you the option of correcting the system clock. If you do not correct the
system clock, you receive a license error.
To prevent a license error due to a change in system date and time, ensure
that your computer's system date and time 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.
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.
