System restore point to keep unsupported version active

I have AutoCAD LT 2014, which is no longer supported, and Autodesk will not reactivate it if I need to reinstall it.

 

Is it possible to create a system restore point or backup that includes AutoCAD pre-installed and activated so that no re-installation/activation is necessary to continue to use the software if I need to reinstall my windows system?

 

How would this be done? System Restore? Disk Image?

 

Does anyone have experience with this?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Look into methods of cloning your current hard drive. So then you can deploy this onto another hard drive on a different computer without having to install or reactivate AutoCAD
