 Deep Freeze Enterprise User Guide

Customization Code

The Customization Code is a unique identifier that encrypts the Configuration Administrator, the 

Enterprise Console, the computer installation files, the One Time Password Generation System, 

and Deep Freeze Command Line Control. This code is not a password that can be used to access 

Deep Freeze.

The Customization Code ensures that unauthorized administrators are prevented from accessing 

or controlling a computer. Multiple Deep Freeze administrators controlling the same group of 

computers must use a matching Customization Code.

Re-Initializing the Customization Code

If another administrator wants to create installation files with the same Configuration 

Administrator using a different Customization Code, complete the following steps: 

1. Run DFInit.exe. 

2. This resets the existing Customization Code for the Configuration Administrator. 

3. Enter a new Customization Code. 

4. Click OK for the new Customization Code to become active.

Update Mode

Update Mode can be used to automatically create updated versions of existing files of Deep Freeze 

Enterprise by executing a special Update command. This command completes two tasks:

•

Updates previous versions of the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console and the Deep Freeze 

Configuration Administrator. (Found in Faronics > Deep Freeze 65 Enterprise.)

•

Updates any user created files stored in the Faronics > Deep Freeze 65 Enterprise > Install 

Programs folder.

The benefit of these updates is that a number of files can be updated to the latest version while 

retaining their configuration data (created with an older version of Deep Freeze Enterprise).

The command automatically updates files created by an administrator (.exe, .rdx) that are present 

in the Faronics > Deep Freeze 65 Enterprise > Install Programs directory, including the following 

sub-directories:

•

Workstation install files

•

Workstation Seed files

In the example below, the district office has received a new version of Deep Freeze Configuration 

Administrator and can automatically update any existing Deep Freeze Workstation Install files 

and Workstation Seeds at a remote location.

The Customization Code must be recorded and guarded with care. Faronics is 

unable to recover a lost or forgotten Customization Code.
