When should I reinstall the product instead of a repair? You should reinstall your product if you accidentally delete or alter files that are required by the program. Missing or altered files adversely affect the performance of your product and cause error messages when you try to execute a command or find a file. If an attempt to repair an installation fails, reinstalling is the next best option. Do I need my original disk to reinstall my software? When performing a reinstall of the product, you do not need to have the original DVD or CD on hand. Installation data is cached locally on your drive and that data is reused when reinstalling. After repairing my installation, is it possible to recover my settings? Custom settings can be exported and later re-imported to the same system in case you have to repair the installation of your program. For more detailed information regarding exporting and importing custom settings, see Export and Import Custom Settings from the Same Release on page 13. When I uninstall my software, what files are left on my system? If you uninstall the product, some files remain on your system such as files you created or edited (drawings or custom menus). Your license file also stays on your workstation when you uninstall your product. If you reinstall on the same workstation, the license information remains valid and you do not have to reactivate the product. 48 | Chapter 4 Installation Troubleshooting
