If I uninstall ArcGIS, do I need another authorization code to reinstall?

I've been having issues with Python and I've tried every work around to fix the issue but have resigned myself to uninstall/reinstall ArcGIS and am wondering if I do so, do I need another authorization code? Thanks!

Hi Dan,

I see the duplicate post and have no idea how it happened. Thank you for the reply! I did deauthorize and was able to reinstall. I never knew about that in the past and when I was a student I had to ask for another authorization code from my professor. Thanks again for the speedy reply!
