It is required to have the original installation source files for the uninstall to be successful. It is not possible to uninstall the service pack if the installation source is a Network Administrative Image with service pack 1 merged.

Follow these instructions to uninstall this service pack on a single computer.

1. Insert the product media (for example, the Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D installation disc) or make sure the installation source files are available.
2. In Windows Control Panel > Uninstall a Program select View Installed Updates.
3. Under the Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 heading, right-click on Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 SP1 and choose Uninstall.

Note: Uninstalling the service pack in a side by side environment where AutoCAD Map 3D 2014 and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 are installed on the same machine may cause licensing errors for the applications on start up. Should this occur, follow these instructions to resolve the issue:

The problem is caused by the adlmint.dll and the adlm_libFNP.dll files in the installation root folder being out of sync.

Copy these two files from your install DVD which are located in the "<DVD Drive>:\x64\C3D\Program Files\Root\Retargetable Folder #2" folder and paste them into the installation root folder i.e. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014.
