How to Deploy This Program
You can choose from several methods of deploying the program. Network sharing is the default method.
• Network Share. Users launch the program with the shortcut icon that you created with the Installation
wizard, in step 3 of the procedure How to Use the Installation Wizard to Set Up a Deployment. The
program is installed on users' local computers, and a product icon appears on their desktop.
Note:
Users must have Read permissions to access the network share and administrative permissions
on the workstation where this program is installed.
• Scripting. Installation scripts are most useful for stand-alone installation of programs on computers
that are connected to a network. Scripts are also useful for installing service packs, extensions, and
object enablers on a network.
• Group Policy Objects (GPOs). With group policy objects, this program can be advertised to any
Windows XP or Windows Vista computer that is part of a Windows 2003 Server Active Directory
environment.
Autodesk products are designed to be installed on a computer so that any user who logs on to the
computer can run the software. If you attempt to assign this program for a specific user rather than a
computer, you may encounter problems when a second specified user tries to install or uninstall a
copy of the program.
• Imaging Software.You can use imaging software, such as Norton Ghost, to create a master image to
distribute Autodesk products. Once created, the master image is then replicated to other computers
throughout your facility.
Care needs to be taken since the use of imaging software can result in conflicts with the product
licensing, incomplete installations, and problems with activation.
System Requirements for a Deployment
This section contains the system requirements for the location of the administrative image that you create,
the network license server, and the client workstation.
Before you begin installing the program on a network, make sure that your servers and client workstations
