If you have already run the Autodesk product on the master computer, the master computer should be properly cleaned first.
To clean a master computer and restore the operating system
- 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.
NoteIf 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. - Create a new partition and use the restore CD or product CD to install the operating system.
