In this section, you’ll find more detailed information about using the Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009

Preliminary Tasks for a Network Deployment
Installing this program on a network requires careful planning and execution. The deployment checklist
gives you a quick summary of the type of information you should be familiar with during your
deployments.
Deployment Checklist
You have reviewed the system requirements. You
must make sure that your network, servers, and
client workstations meet the system requirements.
See “System Requirements for a Deployment”.
You have closed all other programs and disabled
anti-virus software. See “Minimize Chances of
Installation Failure”.
You have identified where deployments will reside
such as a shared folder for each program you plan
to deploy. See “Create Shared Folders for Your
Deployments”.
You have installed and activated any supporting
tools and utilities. See “Install and Activate Tools
and Utilities”.
You have specified whether you want to create log
files that contain deployment and installation data,
run silent mode, and participate in the Customer
Involvement Program. See “Specify Log File
Locations”.
You understand the type of license you’ve
purchased. If you plan a network license
deployment, you should also be familiar with the
type of license server model you want to use and
the license server names. See “Select a License
Type (optional)”.
You know which features you want to include with
the installation. See “Select the Installation Type
(optional)”.
You know how you’re going to personalize the
programs during registration. Using consistent
registration data is very important. See “Register
