Check Deployment Readiness
This checklist identifies preliminary tasks to complete, information to gather,
and decisions to make before creating a network deployment.
TIP To review deployment settings, including details of product configuration,
you can create a test deployment. After the learning process, you can delete the
test deployment.
Deployment Checklist
Review the system requirements by clicking the System
Requirements link in the installer. Confirm that your
network, servers, and client computers meet these system
requirements.
Understand the general process for installing the type of
license you have purchased. For a network license deploy-
ment, know the license server name(s), and the type of
license server model that was specified at the time of li-
cense purchase. For more information, see Determine
the License Server Model (page 26).
Install and activate any supporting tools and utilities. For
example, if you are using a network license, install the
Network License Manager from the installer.
Locate your product serial number and product key. The
serial number and product key are located on the outside
of the product packaging, or in an email message you
received if you downloaded your product or upgrade
from Autodesk.
Identify a network location for deployments, and create
a shared folder to contain deployments.
