Create Deployment

If you want to install Autodesk products on multiple computers using an efficient process, create a deployment.

Administrative Image

The deployment process creates an administrative image, which is a set of installation files that are used to install a consistent configuration of programs on each computer. Other settings:

• Administrative image path. Specify a shared network location where you have Full Control permissions. Users will go to this path to install the programs.
• Target platform. Select either 32-bit or 64-bit to match the operating system of the computers that will use the deployment.
• Include only products required by this deployment configuration. If selected, the deployment cannot be modified in the future to include additional products. If unselected, the administrative image will include all possible products, and the deployment can be modified in the future in any way.

Installation Settings

• Silent mode runs the installation in background, without user input.
  Attention: In silent mode, the user's computer can restart automatically and without warning when the installation is complete.
• A log file records installation data for each computer.
• A network log file keeps a central record of installation data for all computers that run the deployment. It has the same name as your deployment, and must reside in a shared folder where users have Change permissions, so that their computers can write to the log file.
