Full and clean uninstall of Inventor 2012

[GibranSanchez]

Hi there:

I am a student and I've been using Inventor 2012 for a while, I have a real question to all the comunity. I just did a uninstall of Inventor 2012 and I manually removed the remaining files on my HD, nevertheless in my HD remains files of Inventor 2012, in this case the student licence. After the uninstall of Inventor I just re installed it again but my student licence is still somewhere on my HD, What can I do to perform a CLEAN and FULL uninstall of Inventor 2012?  Are some files that I'm missing?, are there some regedit values that I forgot?

Thank you for your time.

If you are a student, why is that a problem?

If you are trying to switch to a commercial license - go to Help>About Autodesk Inventor>Product Information and click on Change Serial Number (or something like that - I don't have my student license install open right now to check the exact wording).

The storage space required by a standalone license will be minimal to the point of not worth looking for.  You might want to check the location the installer unpacked itself to as well as the actual installer itself; both can be quite large.  A clean out of your Win temp folder should snag logs and similar files.
