Creating a Deployment
of AutoCAD
Architecture to
Multiple Computers
How can I prepare to create a successful
deployment to multiple computers?
You can avoid problems and ensure a smooth deployment of AutoCAD
Architecture by employing the following best practices.
■ Confirm that your network, servers, and client workstations meet the
minimum System Requirements for AutoCAD Architecture . (Click "System
Requirements" at the bottom of the Installer.) Be sure that you have installed
the .NET 4.0 Framework.
■ Understand the type of license you have purchased. For a network license
deployment, you should also be familiar with the type of license server model
you want to use, as well as the license server name(s).
■ Obtain Administrator permissions to create and install deployments.
■ Install the latest Windows
®
updates on all computers to which AutoCAD
Architecture will be deployed and restart them.
■ Create a shared folder where deployments will reside. Create a subfolder for
each deployment you plan to create. Verify that all users have full read/write
access to the network share where your deployments will be located. Note:
If you create AutoCAD Architecture deployments in multiple languages,
each language requires a new deployment in a separate deployment folder.
■ Identify locations for your support content files and any additional files you
need.
