A deployment provides an efficient way to install one or more Autodesk products with a standard configuration on multiple
computers. The files required for the installation process are stored on the network, in an administrative image, in a folder
to which all users have shared access. To install the products, users navigate to the deployment folder and double-click an
installer shortcut (.LNK file).
NoteThe installer referenced in this guide applies only to Windows operating systems. However, some of the concepts and procedures
may be useful to administrators of Autodesk products on Linux or Mac OS X networks.
Some essential facts about deployments:
- Deployments can be created for network licenses or multi-seat stand-alone licenses.
- Multiple deployments with different configurations can exist in the same folder, sharing the same administrative image, which
is a set of installation files.
- An existing deployment can form the basis for creating another deployment with a different configuration.
- Deployments can be configured to generate a log file for each installation. Network administrators can use these log files
for troubleshooting.
