How to Install Multiple or Bundled Products
Some Autodesk packages are comprised of multiple products or are part of multi-product bundles. The
Installation wizard for packages that are comprised of multiple products gives you the option to choose
which products you want to install. During the install process, you’ll be informed whether a copy of the
software is already installed or you’ll be warned if your system does not meet the minimum system
requirements for the product. Each product is displayed on its own tabbed panel and you can individually
configure them to specifically fit your needs.
If you’ve purchased a package that is a multi-product bundle, such as am educational or institutional
packages, you may have a package that includes several Autodesk products. For these bundled
packages, an Installer Disk contains information for all the products in the package. The Installer Disk
helps manage all of the products being installed.
