Several supporting tools and utilities are necessary if you plan to have users run the programs with
network licenses. Ancillary programs you might install include:
• Network License Manager
• Network License Activation Utility
• SAMreport Lite
Refer to the Network Licensing Guide for detailed information about how to set up your license servers.
The Network Licensing Guide is available on the Documentation link of the Autodesk NavisWorks
Simulate 2009 Installation wizard.
Use the Installation Wizard to Set Up a Deployment
The deployment process is initiated from the Installation wizard. Deployments are created from which
users can install the program on their computers. You make choices during the deployment process to
create various client deployment images and deployment types that meet user requirements and
company needs.
Note:
Because the deployment process provides you with numerous options for creating and
customizing your deployments, there are many deployment pages you need to complete and
choices you must make. You should set aside ample time to complete the deployment process in
one sitting.
Start the Deployment Process
Once you start the Installation wizard, you initiate the deployment process to set up a deployment.
To start the deployment process:
• In the Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 Installation wizard, click Create Deployments.
Create a Deployment
A deployment contains a Microsoft Transform (MST) file that modifies the default behavior of the
installation program. As you begin a deployment, you need to select the location of your Administrative
image, and a deployment name.
To create a deployment:
1. In the Installation wizard, click Create Deployments.
2. On the Begin Deployment page, enter the location of your Administrative image or click the Browse
button to locate your image. Enter your deployment’s name.
