How do I know if I have enough disk space for
the installation?
The Install > Configure & Begin Installation page of the Installer shows you how
much disk space is required for your installation and how much disk space
you have available.
How do I select a license type? What is the
difference between a stand-alone license and
a network license?
Choose the type of installation to deploy based on the type of software license
you purchased: stand-alone license or network license.
A product with a stand-alone license is registered and activated for an individual
computer. While your software can be installed on multiple computers in
your facility, a stand-alone license allows only one AutoCAD to be operational.
If you need to run AutoCAD on more computers, you need to either purchase
more stand-alone licenses or convert to using network licenses.
With network licenses, AutoCAD can be installed and run on multiple
computers, up to the maximum number of licenses you've purchased. The
Network License Manager utility "checks out" licenses until they are all in use.
No additional computers can run the program until a license is "checked in."
For more information, see the Network Administrator's Guide.
