To deploy a network license using a single license server model
1 While creating a deployment, on the Select the License Type page, select
the Network license option.
2 Select Single License Server as the license server model you want to use
with the Network License Manager.
If you have already used the Network License Manager to create a license
server model, you must select the same license server model in this step.
If you have not yet used the Network License Manager to create a license
server model, make sure that you select the same settings in the Network
License Manager that you choose here.
3 Enter the server name of the server that will run the Network License
Manager, or click the Browse button to locate the server. Click Next.
For more information about license server models and setting up your license
server, see Plan Your License Server Configuration in Autodesk Licensing.
