Installation Process
The following diagram shows the major parts of the installation process for Autodesk
Navisworks 2013 products:
When you run the Installation wizard, there are several installation paths you can
take:
■ Install is recommended for individual users or small groups. The key point is that you
will repeat the installation process on each computer. This is the only valid installation
type for a stand-alone license, but it can also be used with a multi-seat stand-alone or
network license. See
Stand-Alone Installation (page 3) section for the installation
instructions.
■ Create Deployment is recommended for network administrators, using either a multi-seat
stand-alone or network license. In the deployment process, the installation is configured
once, stored on the network, and then distributed efficiently to users' computers. See
Network Administration and Deployment (page 19) section for the installation instructions.
■ Install Tools & Utilities is used to install tools and utilities related to your suite or
product. If you have a network license for your Autodesk product, you will need to use
this option to install the Network License Manager before any users can run the product.
See
Set Up Network Tools and Your License Server (page 29) for the installation instructions.
