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 on hand. Installation data is cached locally on your drive and that data is reused when reinstalling. 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. 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. Uninstall and Maintenance Issues | 51
