Information email. The serial number must contain a three-digit prefix followed
by an eight-digit number. The product key consists of five characters.
Creating Log Files
From the General Deployment Settings dialog, you can setup two types of log
files with which you can monitor information about deployments and
installations.
■ Create network log The network log file keeps a record of all workstations
that run the deployment. On the General Deployment Settings page, you
choose whether or not to create a network log file. The log lists the user
name, workstation name, and the status of the installation. Refer to this
file for status information and details about problems that users
encountered during installation (for example, low disc space or inadequate
permissions).
The network log is named with the same name you chose for your
deployment. You can specify where the log file is created by entering either
a valid UNC (universal naming convention) path or hard-coded path on
your network, for example \\MyComputer\Autodesk\<Autodesk product>.
Users should use their actual computer name in place of MyComputer.
NOTE The folder where the network log resides must be a shared folder where
users who install the program have Change permissions. Otherwise, successes
or failures for user installations cannot be written to the log file.
