Do I need the original media to reinstall my product?, When I uninstall my software

Page 40 highlights

Do I need the original media to reinstall my product? Yes. When reinstalling a product, you are prompted to load the original media. If the product was installed from a network deployment, you need access to the original deployment, unaltered by later changes such as the addition of a service pack. When I uninstall my software, what files are left on my system? If you uninstall the product, some files remain on your computer such as files you created or edited (for example, drawings or custom menus). Your license file also stays on your computer when you uninstall your product. If you reinstall on the same computer, the license information remains valid; you do not have to reactivate the product. 34 | Chapter 3 Installation Troubleshooting
