If your computer is disconnected from the Internet, you will see a website
address where you can activate a product later when you are connected. Record
the website address, product name, serial number, product key, and request
code. You will need to enter this data on a web page to activate the product.
For more information on activation, go to
Autodesk Licensing and select the
FAQ link.
Create Deployment
If you want to install Autodesk products on multiple computers using an
efficient process, create a deployment.
Administrative Image
The deployment process creates an administrative image, which is a set of
installation files that are used to install a consistent configuration of programs
on each computer. Other settings:
■ Administrative image path. Specify a shared network location where
you have Full Control permissions. Users will go to this path to install the
programs.
■ Target platform. Select either 32-bit or 64-bit to match the operating
system of the computers that will use the deployment.
■ Include only products required by this deployment
configuration. If selected, the deployment cannot be modified in the
future to include additional products. If unselected, the administrative
image will include all possible products, and the deployment can be
modified in the future in any way.
Installation Settings
■ Silent mode runs the installation in background, without user input.
IMPORTANT In silent mode, the user's computer can restart automatically and
without warning when the installation is complete.
■ A log file records installation data for each computer.
■ A network log file keeps a central record of installation data for all
computers that run the deployment. It has the same name as your
deployment, and must reside in a shared folder where users have Change
permissions, so that their computers can write to the log file.
