Prepare for a Network Deployment
Complete the following preliminary tasks before creating a network
deployment.
Deployment Checklist
Review the system requirements. Confirm your network, servers, and client
workstations meet the system requirements.
Understand the type of license you have purchased. For a network license de-
ployment, you should also be familiar with the type of license server model you
want to use, and the license server name(s).
Install and activate any support tools and utilities.
Locate your product serial number and product key. These are located on the
outside of the product packaging, or in the Autodesk Upgrade and Licensing
Information email message.
Determine how you intend to personalize the program(s) during registration.
Using consistent registration data is very important.
Identify the location, and create a shared folder where deployments will reside
for each program you plan to deploy.
Close all other programs and disable anti-virus software.
Decide which language to use for each of your deployment packages.
NOTE Languages can be included only during the creation of the deployment,
not during modification.
Determine whether your deployment plan involves using imaging software to
distribute your program(s) to client workstations.
