and product key are used for a single seat. Like a multi-seat stand-alone
installation, you do not use the Network License Manager to manage
product licensing, but installation, registration, and activation occurs on
each workstation.
If you choose one of the stand-alone installation types, you can proceed to
the section
Distribute the Program (page 52).
Choose a License Server Model
If you chose the Network License option, you need to decide which license
server model to use to distribute the product licenses.
TIP If you are deploying a stand-alone or multi-seat stand-alone installation type,
you do not use a license server model. Proceed to the section
Distribute the Pro-
gram
(page 52).
For the network installation, use one of the following license server models:
Single license server model. The Network License Manager is
installed on a single server, so license management and activity is restricted
to this server. A single license file represents the total number of licenses
available on the server.
Distributed license server model. Licenses are distributed across more
than one server. A unique license file is required for each server. To create
a distributed license server, you must run the Network License Manager
on each server that is part of the distributed server pool.
Redundant license server model. You use three servers to authenticate
a single license file. One server acts as the master, while the other two
provide backup if the master server fails. With this configuration, licenses
continue to be monitored and issued as long as at least two servers are still
functional. The license file on all three servers is the same. You must install
the Network License Manager on each server.
Each of these license server models is described in detail in the Autodesk
Licensing Guide. It is strongly recommended that you read that guide before
you deploy the program. You can find the Autodesk Licensing Guide by clicking
the Installation Help link at the lower left corner of the Autodesk
Navisworks Simulate 2012Deployment wizard.
