Deploying CorelCAD 2015 for Windows
Deploying CorelCAD 2015 for Windows is done in 2 stages:
1) Creating a server image of the installer files
2) Installing the software to the client PCs
Creating a server image
CorelCAD2015_x86.exe and CorelCAD2015_x64.exe (as either downloaded from coreldraw.com or
received on CD) contain all files needed to deploy the application in the network.
For installing the application to multiple PCs in the network you need to extract the installation
files to a network share using an administrative installation as initial step:
Preparing software deployment / Creating an administrative setup:
To initialize the setup for creating a server image, you use a command line.
You can create either a 32-bit server image or a 64-bit image.
The following command line lets you create a 32-bit server image from the installation disc
(where X: is the disc drive, U: is the target network share for the installation files to be placed):
X:\CorelCAD2015_x86.exe /a “U:\ServerImages\CorelCAD2015_x86\”
The following command line lets you create a 64-bit server image:
X:\CorelCAD2015_x64.exe /a “U:\ServerImages\CorelCAD2015_x64\”
This will create the following items (identical file/ folder names for 64-bit and 32-bit installation):
Activating CorelCAD 2015 installation server image
CorelCAD 2015 needs to be activated in order to run with all features enabled. Without product
activation the application will only start in Demo mode (with limited functionality, no output
(save, export, print) capabilities), asking for a product activation every time it is started.
When deploying the software to multiple clients you can use a central activation which is stored
with the administrative installation in a license file on the server image.
