Determine the Installation Type
When you set up your deployment, you specify the installation type by target
platform and license type.
Target Platform
Specify either a 32-bit or 64-bit platform, depending on the operating system
of the computers that will use the deployment. For some Autodesk products,
you can install a 32-bit version on a 64-bit operating system.
License Type
Specify one of the following license types, based on the type of license you
purchased:
Network License installation. With this type of installation, you install
the program to workstations with the files and registry entries that allow
the program to communicate with the Network License Manager. You
also define the configuration of the Network License Manager so that
the licenses can be accessed. Workstations running the program based on
a network installation do not require individual activation. Licensing of
this program is managed by at least one license server.
The main advantage is that you can install Autodesk Navisworks Simulate
2012 on more systems than the number of licenses you have purchased
(for example, purchasing 25 licenses but installing on 40 workstations).
At any one time, Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2012 runs on the
maximum number of systems for which you have licenses. This means
you get a true floating license.
Multi-Seat Stand-Alone installation (Stand-Alone option). Choose
this type of installation for stand-alone installations where a single serial
number and product key are used for multiple seats. Multi-seat stand-alone
installations do not rely upon a Network License Manager to manage
product licenses; however, you can still use the Autodesk Navisworks
Simulate 2012Installation wizard to create administrative images and
create deployments. Registration and activation is more automated for
multi-seat stand-alone installations. After the first activation using the
multi-seat stand-alone serial number, activation occurs automatically for
all workstations based on this deployment, as long as your systems are
connected to the Internet.
Stand-Alone installation (Stand-Alone option). Choose this type
of installation for stand-alone installations where a single serial number
