Installation guide

Quick Start to Stand-Alone

Installation

The Stand-Alone Installation Guide provides instructions about how to prepare, and then install

AutoCAD LT 2010. If you have never installed the product before, you should familiarize

yourself with the entire installation process and options before beginning.

If you have a previous release installed, you should review the Migrate Custom Settings and

Files from Previous Releases on page 21 section, so you can take full advantage of your custom

settings.

For information about installing network-licensed versions of the program, see the following

Preparing for Installation

To prepare for installation, you should review the system requirements,

understand administrative permission requirements, locate your AutoCAD LT

serial number and product key, and close all running applications. Complete

these tasks, and you are ready to begin installing AutoCAD LT.

System Requirements

The first task you need to complete is to make sure that your computer meets

the minimum system requirements. If your system does not meet these

requirements, problems can occur, both within AutoCAD LT and at the operating

system level.
