4 Copy the AdLM folder that you created in step 2 to its original location
on the reformatted computer.
NOTE When you restore the disc image, any files that were altered are put back
in their original state and ready to use again. The license files are preserved, and
no reactivation of products is necessary.
Clean a Master System and Restore the Operating
System
If you have already run your Autodesk product on the master computer, the
master computer should be properly cleaned before creating a master image.
To clean a master computer and restore the operating system
1 Clean the hard drive, including the boot sector.
For example, if you use Norton’s GDISK utility, use the following
command:
gdisk 1 /diskwipe
Where 1 is the hard disk that is being wiped.
NOTE
If you use a utility other than Norton Ghost, make sure that it cleans
the boot sector; otherwise, you will not be able to activate Autodesk products.
2 Create a new partition and use the restore disc or product media to install
the operating system.
