How do I choose between 32-bit and 64-bit de-
ployments?
You have a choice of selecting 32-bit or 64-bit deployment. This choice controls
which operating system the deployment is targeted at, NOT what sort of
products to include in the deployment.
■ Selecting 32-bit deployment gives you a choice of 32-bit products, and will
only install on 32-bit operating systems.
■ Selecting 64-bit deployment gives you a choice of 32-bit and 64-bit
products, and will only install on 64-bit operating systems.
So, for example, if you want to install available 32-bit products on a 64-bit
operating system, you need to choose 64-bit deployment.
NOTE You can make either type of deployment from either type of operating
system.
Where do I find my server name?
When installing a network licensed product, you must specify the name of
the server that will run the Network License Manager.
If you don’t know the server name, you can quickly find it by opening a
Windows command prompt on the system that will be the Network License
Manager. At the prompt, enter ipconfig /all and note the Host Name
entry.
What is an administrative image (MSI) file?
An administrative image is a collection of shared file resources created during
the deployment process and is used by deployments to install the program to
networked workstations. An MSI file is a Microsoft Installer file.
How do I extract an MSP file?
A Microsoft Patch (MSP) file is usually contained in a Service Pack executable
that you download from the Support website for your product. To extract the
