IMPORTANT While some of the concepts and procedures in the following sections
may prove useful as guidelines for network administrators using Mac OS X and
Linux, only the Windows version of the Maya installer includes a deployment
wizard. Also note that most images and examples in this section are based on
AutoCAD.
System requirements for Administrative image
Before you begin installing the program on a network, make sure that your
servers and client workstations meet the minimum recommended hardware
and software requirements for a deployment. For complete system
requirements, see www.autodesk.com/qual-charts.
The program will automatically detect if the Windows operating system is the
32- or 64-bit version when installing Maya. The appropriate version of Maya
will be installed. The 32-bit version of Maya cannot be installed on a 64-bit
version of Windows vice-versa.
Choose an installation type
When you set up your deployment, you need to choose the type of installation
to deploy. In the Deployment wizard, you specify one of the following
installation types:
Stand-Alone installation (Stand-Alone option)
Choose this type of installation for stand-alone installations where a single
serial number and product key are used for a single seat. Like a multi-seat
stand-alone installation, you do not use the Network License Manager to
manage product licensing, but installation, registration, and activation occurs
on each workstation.
Multi-Seat Stand-Alone installation (Stand-Alone option)
Choose this type of installation for stand-alone installations where a single
serial number and product key are used for multiple seats. Multi-seat
stand-alone installations do not rely upon the Network License Manager to
manage product licenses; however, you can still use the Deployment wizard
to create administrative images and deployments. Registration and activation
is more automated for multi-seat stand-alone installations. After the first
activation using the multi-seat stand-alone serial number and product key,
