Reinstalling Autocad2005 on upgraded comp

I'm having problems with my computer.
If I replace the hard drive or the operating system will I have to
reinstall Autocad 2005?
Also will I have to get a different AUTHORIZATION REQUEST CODE and have
to get another AUTHORIZATION CODE from Autodesk?

 

If you replace you HD you can "CLONE" it once its been formatted, by using
several methods. I personally just format it set the jumpers as slave or if
it cable select set the jumpers to that, format it, and the just select the
C drive and the it just the same as the normal copy, however you will get an
error that windows cannot copy the 386swapFile, I think it a long time since
I did this, but that can be over come by restarting and at the windows
start-up going in to dos and using the dos copy command for the 386swapfile,
but make a note of where it is so you can put it in the right place.

There is alternatively the go out and purchase one of the cloning software
packages but the above method is, I wouldn't say hassle free but it is
cost-free other than a bit of you time.

 

I want to purchase Auto Cad 2005 LT,How many computers am I able to install
this program on?I would like to put it on my desk top as well as my
laptop.At $1300 a pop it seams a little steep to purchase this twice.What
are the options for the budget minded?


TIA

 

Lifted directly from the EULA that ships with LT2005:

3.1.2 Additional Installation. Except with regard to
Educational Institutional, Student and Evaluation Versions only, You may
Install and Access a second copy of the Software on the hard disk of a
second Computer owned by You or under Your control provided that:

(i) the original and second copies are used only by
the same person;

(ii) the second copy is Installed and Accessed only
on either (a) with respect to Network Versions, a redundant server that
makes the Software available for use only when Your primary server on which
the active Software copy is Installed becomes inoperable, or (b) a notebook
computer or other non-server computer away from Your usual work location for
the purpose of enabling You to perform work while away from Your usual work
location;

(iii) only one of the Software copies is Accessed at
any one time; and

(iv) both copies of the Software are Installed and
Accessed exclusively with the copy protection device (if any) supplied with
the Software.

Intellicad.

 

I've tried this several times with AutoCAD packages and it don't want too
work for me so how's it done ????

 

It's a little steep to purchase once.

 

Well you can install it on both and transfer your license back and forth.
Big trouble but it is legal and doable. Or you can just pay for one license
and use a keygen for the other, It may not be legal but in reality it is the
same idea as transferring license from computer to computer...as long as you
don't take advantage and give it to your friends, or make profit from it,
etc...
