Autodesk Design Institute 7 Installation Guide 6. Prepare for Installation This section describes installing and activating the Autodesk® Design Institute products, deploying or restoring an image with imaging software such as Norton Ghost, and uninstalling the software. Note: Using imaging software (such as Norton Ghost) is not recommended or supported. Installation Overview Products in Design Institute 7 can be installed as multi-seat stand-alone installations or network license installations. Each Design Institute site uses its own configuration of product deployments and installations. For example, one site might install network-licensed versions of Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006 and Autodesk VIZ 2006 on 20 computers. Another Design Institute site might use the Deployment wizard to install multi-seat stand-alone versions of Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006, Autodesk Revit Building 8, and Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 on 40 computers. Still another site might use the Deployment wizard to install Autodesk Inventor Professional 10 as a multi-seat stand-alone product on 15 computers in a computer lab, and might also do manual installations of Autodesk VIZ 2006 on the same 15 computers, one by one. Note: Although you can deploy the software in a mixed environment (a combination of network and stand-alone installations), Autodesk recommends that you use one deployment method only. This will save you time and will ensure a straightforward installation process. Autodesk strongly recommends that you install the Design Institute products using the Deployment wizard. The wizard automates deployment and activation, which saves time. To find out which products include the Deployment wizard, see the second column of the Product Installation Information table listed later in this document. Some products are not available as a network-licensed deployment. They require manual deployment and activation on each workstation. Make sure to enter the same registration data at each workstation, or product activation will not work. Installation Types Following are the three methods you can use to set up the products. The methods are listed in the order they are recommended. Note: Your Design Institute product is pre-configured for multi-seat stand-alone installations. To configure network-licensed installations, you must call Autodesk Customer Service at 800-551-1490. ƒ Multi-seat stand-alone installations using the Deployment wizard. A single serial number is used for multiple installations, and the installation and activation are done using the Deployment wizard. After the first activation using the multi-seat stand-alone serial number, activation occurs automatically for all workstations based on this deployment, as long as the computers are connected to the Internet and the registration data is the same on all computers in the deployment. Product licensing is not managed by a license server. Required product documentation: Network Administrator's Guide ƒ Network license installations. Use the Deployment wizard to create the installation image, and use the Network License Manager to manage licenses. To configure networklicensed installations, you must call Autodesk Customer Service at 800-551-1490. Then install a program to workstations with files and registry entries that allow the program to communicate with the license server(s). Workstations that run the program based on a 13
