Consistent Personalization Data
It is very important that the personalization data (for example, your facility
name and contact information) you supply when registering and activating
your products is consistent across all Autodesk products that you install. When
you register and activate products, you are required to enter information on
the electronic registration (EREG) site. If you enter this data incorrectly or
inconsistently, you can run into activation problems.
For example, Mr. J. Smith works at a school and has received his software. He
decides to install AutoCAD on his personal system and activates the product
using his personal information. He then gives the same AutoCAD package to
a system administrator to install on the school’s network. The system
administrator attempts to register and activate the product using the school’s
personalization data. Since the software license has already been registered
and activated by Mr. Smith, the software on the school’s network cannot be
registered and activated unless Mr. Smith’s exact personalization data is re-used.
You can avoid this situation by always using the original personalization data.
If you do not know your personalization data, you should contact your
Academic Value Added Reseller or the Autodesk Business Center. Refer to
Contact Information (page 94).
Create Shared Folders for the Deployment Wizard
You use the Deployment wizard for both network license and multi-seat
stand-alone methods of installation. They both require shared folders. A shared
folder (network share) is a folder that you make available to users' computers
over a network. The shared folder is created before you run the Deployment
wizard and is where product deployments are stored.
It is recommended that you name the network share folder Autodesk. You can
then add subfolders inside the shared Autodesk folder that clearly convey the
names of products you plan to deploy. For example:
Any subfolders that are placed inside a shared folder are automatically shared.
