You can distribute the product using a
master image for a multi-seat stand-alone product.
NoteWhen using Norton
Ghost, you must use the -ib switch to include the boot
sector in your master image. Consult your imaging software for more details
on including the boot sector as part of the master image.
Master images should
not be created if you’ve previously run Autodesk products on the
master computer. Cleaning the system may be necessary.
To distribute a multi-seat stand-alone
product to multiple computers using a master image
- Create a network deployment for a multi-seat
stand-alone product. For more information, see
Create a Custom Deployment.
- Install AutoCAD from the deployment
onto the master computer.
- Do one of the following on the master
computer:
- Create a master image, including the
boot sector. Test the product on a machine other than the master
computer before distributing the product. Launch the product on
the other machine, and register and activate it. Users have a 30-day
grace period to register and activate the product on their machines.
- Launch and customize the product as necessary.
Create a master image and distribute it to users. If users’ computers
are connected to the Internet, the product is automatically activated.
Users whose computers are not connected to the Internet have a 7-day
grace period to register and activate the product.

computers.
