Deployment Issues
This section outlines common issues and their solutions with regards to software deployments.
Is there a checklist I can refer to when performing a deployment?
The Network Installation Guide contains a complete section that describes preliminary actions and the
entire deployment process. See “Preliminary Tasks for a Network Deployment”.
Where should deployments be located?
Shared folders are required for both network license and multi-seat stand-alone methods of installation.
The shared folder (network share) is created before you run the Installation wizard and is where product
deployments are stored. It is recommended that you name the network share folder Deployments on the
desktop of the system where you want deployments stored. You can then add subfolders inside the
shared Deployments folder that clearly convey the names of products you plan to deploy.
Any subfolders that are placed inside a shared folder are automatically shared.
Note:
You must have Full Control permissions set for your shared folder when you are creating your
deployment images. Read permissions are necessary to access the network share and
administrative permissions on the workstation where the program is deployed.
Where can I check if service packs are available for my software?
To find out if a patch or Service Pack is available for your product, visit the Autodesk Product Support
page at http://support.autodesk.com.
