Installation Troubleshooting 3 Installation Questions This section provides answers to some frequently asked questions about installation and deployment. For additional advice and assistance, go to Autodesk Support, click your product name, and search in the Knowledgebase for your product. Licensing Questions What is the difference between a stand-alone license and a network license? A stand-alone license supports one or more Autodesk products for an individual user. Similarly, a multi-seat stand-alone license supports a specific number of users. While the software can be installed on additional computers in your facility, the licensed number of users cannot be exceeded. A network license supports a specific maximum number of users who are connected to a network. A software utility known as the Network License Manager (NLM) issues licenses to users, up to the number of licenses purchased. At this point, no more computers can run the Autodesk product until a license is returned to the NLM. 29
