What is the benefit of using a network licensed
version of the software?
Network licensing provides ease of license management for large
drafting/design facilities, classrooms, and other environments that need to
support many users. The Network License Manager provides centralized control
of licenses, including their registration, activation, and distribution to users.
One main advantage of a network license is that you can install products on
more computers than the number of licenses you have purchased. For example,
you can purchase 25 licenses but install them on 40 computers for ease of
access. At any one time, products can run on the maximum number of
computers for which you have licenses. This means you get a true floating
license. A network licensing system can also be configured to allow users to
borrow a license for a limited time to use on a computer disconnected from
the network.

Deployment and Networking Questions
Where should deployments be located?
It is recommended that you create a network share folder named Deployments
on the desktop of the system where you want to store deployments. You can
then add subfolders named to reflect the products deployed. If you plan to
create several deployments of the same product or suite, configured for
different user groups, then these deployments can share the same
administrative images, and the shortcuts can reside in the same folder. Any
subfolders inside a shared folder are automatically shared.
For more information on network shares, see Create a Network Share (page
7).
