AutoCAD Electrical Sharing Libraries and Databases by Users

Challenge

When installing AutoCAD Electrical, there is a way to set-up your installs so that your libraries and databases are shared by your users.  This document explains how to create a deployment which will act like a configured installation disk.  Users will access this deployment over their network to install AutoCAD Electrical onto their computer.

Solution

It is necessary to create a separate deployment for 32-bit or 64-bit if you have mixed platforms.

You can use this method whether you are installing stand-alone multi-seat licenses or a network license.  For information regarding how to install the FlexLM license manager, see tech tip Autodesk Network License Manager Installation Instructions
