Autodesk Network Ad-
ministrator's Guide
Network Administration and Deployment
What's New in the 2014 Network Administrator's
Guide
The Network Administrator's Guide is now part of a consolidated Installation Help
online document that includes the Installation Overview and FAQ, Licensing Guide,
and product-specific supplements. This new structure is expected to be easier
to use and to maintain.
Other improvements are as follows:
■ Deployment path length validation. Deployments created on Windows
can exceed the maximum path length for the operating system, especially
if they are nested deeply within a directory structure. To reduce the chances
of exceeding this limit, Autodesk shortened many of the deployment
directory names, and implemented a path length check that alerts the user
if a path is too long, and by how many characters.
■ Combined 32- and 64-bit deployments. For networks that include both
32- and 64-bit computers, network administrators can create a combined
deployment that will determine the computer type and automatically install
the matching product versions. For more information, see
Create a Combined
32- and 64-bit Deployment
(page 22).
■ Including additional software in deployments. When you select the
Autodesk products to include in a deployment, you can also include
third-party products, add-ins from the App Store, language packs, and other
