How to deploy AutoCAD in school enviroment with WDS?

[john.mercer]

I've installed AutoCAD on my master image, I've gone through and set all the settings the way I want it to be for all users, including activation.  I sysprep the image and upload to WDS.  The problem I have is:  any user that logins goes through the whole activation process.  We use deepfreeze so  the machines get set back to the original deployment every night.  So the user has to go through the activation every single day and that's multiple users on the same machine.  Not to mention it taking one of our licenses every single time.  Stand-alone multi seat license.

system imaging will break standalone licensing there is no fix for this that i am aware of

the workaround is getting network licenses for your products if available
