In the AutoCAD Deployment wizard, you specify one of the following installation types: Network License installation With this type of installation, you install the program to workstations with the files and registry entries that allow the program to communicate with the Network License Manager. You also define the configuration of the Network License Manager so that the licenses can be accessed. Workstations running the program based on a network installation do not require individual activation. Licensing of this program is managed by at least one license server. The main advantage is that you can install AutoCAD on more systems than the number of licenses you have purchased (for example, purchasing 25 licenses but installing on 40 workstations). At any one time, AutoCAD runs on the maximum number of systems for which you have licenses. This means you get a true floating license. Multi-Seat Stand-Alone installation (Stand-Alone option) Choose this type of installation for stand-alone installations where a single serial number and product key are used for multiple seats. Multi-seat stand-alone installations do not rely upon the Network License Manager to manage product licenses; however, you can still use the AutoCAD Deployment wizard to create administrative images and deployments. Registration and activation is more automated for multi-seat stand-alone installations. After the first activation using the multi-seat stand-alone serial number and product key, activation occurs automatically for all workstations based on this deployment, as long as your systems are connected to the Internet.

Choose an Installation Type
When you set up your deployment, you need to choose the type of installation
to deploy. In the AutoCAD Deployment wizard, you specify one of the
following installation types:
Network License installation
With this type of installation, you install the
program to workstations with the files and registry entries that allow the
program to communicate with the Network License Manager. You also define
the configuration of the Network License Manager so that the licenses can be
accessed. Workstations running the program based on a network installation
do not require individual activation. Licensing of this program is managed
by at least one license server.
The main advantage is that you can install AutoCAD on more systems than
the number of licenses you have purchased (for example, purchasing 25
licenses but installing on 40 workstations). At any one time, AutoCAD runs
on the maximum number of systems for which you have licenses. This means
you get a true floating license.
Multi-Seat Stand-Alone installation (Stand-Alone option)
Choose this type
of installation for stand-alone installations where a single serial number and
product key are used for multiple seats. Multi-seat stand-alone installations
do not rely upon the Network License Manager to manage product licenses;
however, you can still use the AutoCAD Deployment wizard to create
