Stand-Alone Installation
AutoCAD for Mac Installation provides instructions about how to prepare, and then install
AutoCAD 2011 for Mac. If you have never installed the product before, you should familiarize
yourself with the entire installation process and options before beginning.
Preparing for Installation
To prepare for installation, you should review the system requirements,
understand administrative permission requirements, locate your AutoCAD for
Mac serial number and product key, and close all running applications. Complete
these tasks, and you are ready to begin installing AutoCAD for Mac.
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 for Mac and at the
operating system level.
