AVGPREP Program AVGPREP 9. 0 is a program intended primarily for administrators of large networks who may need to clone the computer's preset configuration to many PCs at once. During cloning the saved license data saved is devalued, and the AVG on the target stations reports the license number to be invalid. Before you start cloning the default configuration of the source computer with the help of Sysprep, it is necessary to use the AVGPREP 9. 0 program that creates a temporary avgprep. dat file, and with its use secures the automatic license correction on the target stations.

The Process of Cloning If you want to clone the configuration of a computer to more PCs without reregistering every AVG installation on the target stations, follow these steps: 2. 1. Setting the default AVG configuration Set the complete configuration intended for cloning on the source computer. The target stations will be installed with exactly the same settings, and the AVG license number used for the source station installation will be copied to all target stations! 2. 2. Using the AVGPREP program The AVGPREP 9. 0 program is available on the AVG installation CD, or you can download it from this section of the AVG website. You can launch it either directly with the specific parameter (simply use the last four characters of the license number without a slash or a dash), or in the interactive mode where you will be invited to specify the last four characters of the license number. Run the AVGPREP 9. 0 program to create the avgprep. dat temporary file into the % allusersprofile%\Avg9 directory. [. . . ] Using the Sysprep Tool With the help of Sysprep (or an alternative tool) create the source computer image ( image of your disk), and clone its configuration to the target stations. Once the image is cloned to the target computers, the ProductId changes, and the AVG licenses will be automatically corrected using the avgprep. dat file, and the file itself will be removed.
