What is the Autodesk Vault Client?
A Vault client is any stand-alone application or integrated add-in that connects to the vault server to access files and perform vault operations.
Note: Vault clients that integrate with an Autodesk design application require a licensed installation of the corresponding Autodesk application. Refer to the hardware and software requirements for each product.
The clients work with the Autodesk Data Management Server. The Autodesk Data Management Server must be installed and configured before the clients can access the server.
Before installing
- Close all Autodesk and Microsoft applications before installation.
- Disable any virus scanning software before installing.
- Make sure that the Vault Client release that you are installing matches the release year of the Autodesk Data Management Server that you installed. For example, if you are upgrading to Autodesk Vault 2014, both server and client components must be upgraded to the same release year. Refer to Upgrading Vault for more information.
- The recommended screen resolution is 1024x768 or higher. Large font settings in lower screen resolution settings can affect clarity of dialog boxes.
