when i did it on my laptop, even though i had copied the files directly from the first install, 250G of the libraries, it still took 3 hours to read and verify i had every file. The bad is the way NI scripted this, if you have to re-install just for the license files, it has to go through the whole long install process as the script that writes the xml and plist files with install/lib location happens last. Or you can have it professionally duplicated like it was done by NI. maybe not exactly, they may combine libraries. Regardless, your license, what you actually paid for, guarantees that NI will provide you with the files if needed and when k10u comes out, probably everything on this disc will be in that. as well all the files it installed are in the apps/NI folder, the plug-ins, the library/app support/ni, or the library prefs plist files. lol, and did not feel like moving files around to make it. i will probably make a dmg of it, or move it to a 3.5 drive with a 250G ntfs partition, i just did not have a disc with 250g free, most had 100 to 240G free. I personally just installed it twice, work station and laptop with libraries on a separate volume from the startup disc and then cloned the laptop drive, so now i never have to use the installer again as i can just move the files with ccc or the disc migration utility.
alternatively you can just use pacifist and extract the packages or sudo xar -x -f it. (you can selectively install and copy files with carbon copy cloner and preserve the permissions ). you can make a disc copy dmg with disc utilty (the advantage of this is you can make all the files visible and it works on a mac), you can do a sector copy, dd, of the disc at the dev level via the terminal (this is the best method as copies it by sector without care about mac, win, or any hidden files or copy protection that is not on false bad blocks, or you can install it and then use carbon copy cloner to clone the disc and then use that or disc migration to re-install. you can format a drive on a window machine and create a ntfs partition and copy over the files via the terminal, a utility like paragon ntsf, or command line.
