Network Administration and Deployment
Understanding Deployments
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).
NOTE The 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.
