Language Pack Deployment
Some Autodesk products, such as Inventor and Revit, can use separate language
packs to add one or more additional language versions to an installed product.
Each language pack provides user-interface strings, message text, and
documentation in a specific language, without duplicating the product
software. To distribute a specific language version to multiple instances of an
Autodesk product, you can use the installer included with each language pack
to create a language pack deployment. If you need to deploy language packs
for multiple languages or multiple products, you can create a batch file to
install a series of language packs on each computer.
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 pur-
chased. For a network license deployment, know the license server name(s), and
the type of license server model that was specified at the time of license purchase.
Install and activate any network administrator tools and utilities. For example, if
you are using a network license, install the Network License Manager from the
installer.
