Distribute Network Licensed Products You can use a master image to distribute network licensed products. To distribute a network licensed product to multiple computers using a master image 1 Create a network deployment for a network licensed product. For more information, see Create an Original Deployment (page 8). 2 Install the product from the deployment onto the master computer. NOTE A license server must be running, and each computer must be connected to the network in order for the product to obtain a license. 3 After the product has been installed, use imaging software to create a master image of the system's hard drive. 4 Apply the master image to the target computers. Restore the Master Image The following procedure assumes that you have saved a copy of each computer's AdLM folder (and Product Licenses folder, if present) to either another computer or a disc before you reformat the computer. To restore a product using a master image 1 Exit the application. Do not run the application again until after you have completed this procedure. 2 In Windows Explorer, copy the AdLM folder from the appropriate path shown below to a location other than the disc that will be restored. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet 3 Reformat the computer and restore the master image. NOTE Do not perform a low-level format of the hard drive. 4 Copy the AdLM folder that you created in step 2 to its original location on the reformatted computer. 26 | Chapter 2 Alternative Distribution Methods
