You can create another deployment later, and include additional products,
but to do this you need to create a new administrative image from the
installation media.
What are profiles of user preferences?
A profile is a collection of user settings for AutoCAD or another Autodesk
product. Profiles are not used by all products. When you specify a profile on
the Specify User Preferences page during the deployment process, it ensures
a standard configuration for all computers that use that deployment to install
the product.
Profiles can contain configuration settings for almost anything that is not a
drawing-based system variable. For example, a profile can contain support
paths, grip settings, and print settings. Profiles are created on the Profiles tab
of the product's Options dialog box.
What happens if I choose to append or merge service
packs?
When you append a service pack, it is applied to the current deployment only.
The service pack file is included in the deployment, and the service pack is
applied after the product is deployed.
When you merge a service pack, the service pack is merged into the
administrative image. Once merged, a service pack cannot be removed from
the administrative image.
You can choose to append or merge service packs from the product
configuration panel when creating a deployment.
Where can I check if service packs are available for my
software?
To find out if a patch or Service Pack is available, visit the Support page for
your product at
