IMPORTANT Do not use registry cleaning programs or attempt to modify the
registry entries yourself to uninstall Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012. Failure
to follow the official uninstall procedure will result in the inability to re-install the
software.
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.
Installation data is cached locally on your drive and that data is reused when
reinstalling. If any files cannot be located 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 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.
