flexible way to plan your software expenses and a simple way to keep your applications up-
to-date. For more information about each license option, see “Installation Overview” on
page 13.
Design Institute purchase options include the following:
System Pack. Designed for major universities and community college systems. You can
install a licensed copy of each software product on an unlimited number of computers at
up to five sites
Campus Pack. Designed for medium size universities and community colleges. You can
install a licensed copy of each software product on no more than 75 computers at up to
three sites (unless you have purchased additional licenses to supplement your program
level).
Class Pack customers. Designed for single classroom or lab. You can install a licensed
copy of each software product on no more than 25 computers at one site (unless you
have purchased additional licenses to supplement your program level).
Campus Pack and Class Pack customers can mix network installations and multi-seat stand-

4. Site Preparation
To ensure that you are properly prepared for installation at your site, perform the following
steps. New and existing Autodesk Design Institute customers should follow these steps to
prepare for installation:
1Complete the Design Institute Site Installation form. (See the Design Institute
Installation Form at the end of this guide.)
The form identifies the necessary information (including departments and site names) for
each site where you install software. New customers should complete the form. Existing
customers should check the accuracy of information on their existing completed form, or
complete a new form.
Depending on the Design Institute licenses you have purchased, a corresponding serial
number is required in order for you to receive an activation code from Autodesk.
For the location of serial numbers, use the following:
For Design Institute products: The serial number is on the Design Institute shipping
box.
For Autodesk Media & Entertainment Design Institute products: The serial number for
each Autodesk Media and Entertainment product is on the individual product box.
2Create your Design Institute program binder. Place all critical partner documents in
the binder, including your license agreement and the current Design Institute Site
Installation Form for all departments, labs, or campus locations that use the Autodesk
software. Because different groups can use your software, you should make this binder
the central repository for program information. Having your materials in one place saves
you time and makes your job easier when you update and renew the product.
3Communicate with the faculty and staff who use the lab. If you haven’t already
done so, introduce yourself to the people who manage the labs where the software is
used. Be sure to give them the names and telephone numbers of the designated
technical support callers in your institution.
4Have the following materials available:
Design Institute license agreement.
Design Institute Installation Guide (this document).
Printouts of the Stand-Alone Installation Guide, Network Administrator’s Guide or
Network Licensing Guide for each product you install (depending the installation type
you choose. See “Installation Types” on page 13 for a description of each installation
type and its required documentation).
Copy of the completed Design Institute Site Installation form (at the end of this
guide).
Design Institute serial number (on the Design Institute shipping box).
Serial number.
Names of designated callers for Design Institute technical support in your institution.
Product CDs. See “Design Institute 7 Software” on page 7 for an alphabetical list of
the product CDs.
If you need Autodesk Technical Support during installation, contact your designated
technical support callers. Only two designated callers (or four designated callers for

Autodesk Design Institute 7 Installation Guide
10
System Pack customers) may call Autodesk Technical Support staff for assistance. You
can also contact your AVAR for assistance.
5Understand system requirements and supported video card information.
Individual product system requirements can be found by visiting the Product
Information pages located at www.autodesk.com/products or by accessing the
product Help menu.
Supported video card information can be found by visiting the Autodesk Support

5. Product Issues and Limitations
The following issues are known installation and interoperability limitations for Design
Institute 7 programs sharing data and resources.
For detailed information about limitations and system requirements for each product, see
the Readme file and installation guides for each product.
Issues and Limitations for All Users
When Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 is uninstalled on users’ workstations, you should delete
the desktop shortcut icons for both Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 and Viz Render for Civil 3D.
Double-clicking the Autodesk Viz Render icon produces no results, but double-clicking
the Civil 3D icon might incorrectly start another Autodesk product that is still installed.
When Autodesk Civil 3D 2006 is uninstalled from users’ workstations, Autodesk Viz
Render for Civil 3D 2006 is also uninstalled automatically. This behavior is as designed.
However, when users attempt to start Autodesk VIZ 2006 or VIZ Render for ADT 2006,
an error similar to the following is displayed.
Autodesk ACT libraries were not properly registered.
To resolve the error, users should repair VIZ 2006 installation (from Windows Control
Panel > Add or Remove Programs).
When you deploy a network-licensed version of Autodesk Inventor 10, two Autodesk
Inventor icons are displayed on the desktop. If a user double-clicks an Autodesk
Inventor 10 icon, a license error message is displayed. To start Inventor 10 without
encountering an error message, users should double-click the Autodesk Inventor
Professional 10 desktop icon.
When you deploy a network-licensed version of Revit Building 8, you must map a path
on users’ workstations to the shared network location of the Content folder. If the folder
is not mapped, users will get messages similar to the following. Users should dismiss the
messages, map the drive, and then restart the product.
The default template file specified in the 'File Locations' section of the Settings-Options
dialog (\\xxhp5474\Autodesk\Revit 8\Content\Imperial Templates\default.rte) does not
exist.
Followed by:
AccuRender material library not found.
To import Autodesk Inventor 10 files into Autodesk VIZ 2006, users should install and
use the add-on program supplied with Autodesk Inventor.
To import or link Autodesk Revit data to Autodesk VIZ 2006, you must first export a file
from Autodesk Revit in the AutoCAD 2004 drawing file format. Material assignments do
not display when the drawing is opened in AutoCAD, but are stored in the drawing and
display when the file is opened in Autodesk VIZ 2006.

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.
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
Network license installations. Use the Deployment wizard to create the installation
image, and use the Network License Manager to manage licenses. To configure network-
licensed 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

Autodesk Design Institute 7 Installation Guide
14
network license installation do not require individual activation. Required product
documentation:Network Licensing Guide, Network Administrator’s Guide
Note: Autodesk Revit Building 8 provides a method of deploying the product that does
not include a Deployment wizard. To deploy Autodesk Revit Building 8, see “Autodesk
Revit Building 8 Deployment” on page 27.
Multi-seat stand-alone installations using the product CDs. Run the Stand-Alone
Installation wizard on each workstation. Although this installation option is not
recommended, you can use a single serial number for multiple installations, and the
installation and activation are done manually. Product licensing is not managed by a
license server. Required product documentation: Stand-Alone Installation Guide
Product Installation Order
When you install a combination of Autodesk products on the same computer, you must
install them in the order shown in the Product Installation Information table below. The

Autodesk Design Institute 7 Installation Guide
Detailed Procedures for Multi-Seat Stand-Alone Installation
Following are detailed steps for setting up a multi-seat stand-alone installation. Follow all of
the general steps in the order they are mentioned on the previous page, and refer to the
following procedures when you need specific details about performing a step.
Create a Network Share (for Products Using the Deployment Wizard)
A network share is an installation folder that you make available to users’ computers on a
network. Create a network share that will be used by the Deployment wizard during the
creation of a client deployment. The network share is the location where you point users to
install the program.
It is recommended that you name the network share folder Autodesk. Make sure that the
new subfolder located under the shared Autodesk folder clearly conveys the product name.
(For example, the Autodesk Architectural Desktop subfolder could be named Autodesk/ADT
2006.) See the following example:
Note: To create a network share, you must have Change and Read permissions. Users
must have Read permissions to access the network share and administrative permissions on
the workstation where the program is installed.
To create a network share
1. Create a folder named Autodesk.
2. Right-click the Autodesk folder and click Sharing and Security (or Sharing).
3. In the folder Properties dialog box, in the Sharing tab, select Share This Folder.
4. Adjust any settings or permissions as necessary, and then click OK.
Use the Deployment Wizard
It is strongly recommended that you use the Deployment wizard to deploy and activate
products. If a product does not support network deployment, use the stand-alone
installation option detailed in “Manual Installation of Products on a Workstation” on page 29.
Note: Autodesk Revit Building 8 provides a method of deploying the product that does not
include a Deployment wizard. To deploy Autodesk Revit Building 8, see “Autodesk Revit
Building 8 Deployment” on page 27.
The Deployment wizard installer installs the files necessary to run the Deployment wizard in
the location that you specify. Install a single Deployment wizard and use it for all products
that offer the Deployment wizard.
16

Autodesk Design Institute 7 Installation Guide
17
To install the Deployment wizard
1. Insert the Autodesk product CD into the CD drive of the computer where you want to
run the Deployment wizard.
2. In the Media Browser, click the Install tab.
3. On the Install tab, click Network Deployment.
4. Under Install the Deployment Wizard, click Install, and follow the onscreen instructions.
To run the Deployment wizard to create an administrative image
You can use one Deployment wizard to deploy all products that support the deployment
option. On the Start menu (Windows), click All Programs (or Programs) > Autodesk >
Deployment Wizard.
Each product has its own MSI file, which may cause the wizard to display product-specific
options. Therefore, each deployment could be somewhat different from another. You should
read each product’s Network Administrator’s Guide for step-by-step instructions, and use
the following list as a set of guidelines when using the Deployment wizard.
When you run the Deployment wizard for each product, the product’s CD must be in the
CD drive so that you can access the required MSI file that resides on the CD.
When you create an administrative image, enter a path to the MSI file you will use as
the basis for your administrative image, or navigate to the file. Following is an example
of the path to the AutoCAD MSI file:
CDROM1\bin\ACADfeui\acad.msi
When you enter an administrative image location, point to the shared network folder you
created (Autodesk) to create an administrative image. Create a new folder under the
shared location with the name of the product you are installing. You install the programs
on each workstation from this location. The path must be a UNC (universal naming
convention) path to the shared folder.
When you enter a name for the new deployment, make sure the name clearly conveys
the product you are deploying. The name is the shortcut you will point to when you
install the product on each workstation.
When you select a client installation location, make sure Run in Silent Mode is selected
to ensure that all workstations are installing the product with identical installation
options.
When a serial number is required, enter the same Design Institute serial number for
every product that you install using the Deployment wizard. This serial number is on the
Design Institute shipping box. If you purchased the Media and Entertainment products,
the serial number is on the individual product boxes.
When registration information is required, enter the same information for the
deployment of every product. It is strongly recommended that you write down the
information the first time you enter it, and then enter identical information for every
product. Use the Design Institute Installation form at the end of this document to record
the registration information.
You must have local administrative permissions on each workstation where the products
are installed. See “Product Issues and Limitations” on page 11 for information about
permissions required to run Autodesk Land Desktop 2006 and Autodesk Map 3D 2006.

Autodesk Design Institute 7 Installation Guide
18
Install Multi-Seat Stand-Alone Products on a Workstation
To install all of the Design Institute products on users’ workstations, you may need to
increase the registry memory by approximately 20 MB.
1. Log on to a workstation. You must have local administrative permissions on each
workstation to install Autodesk products.
2. On the workstation, browse to a network drive that contains the shared folder
(Autodesk) where the product administrative images are located.
3. Browse to the subfolder of the product you plan to install.
4. Double-click the product’s shortcut icon to install the product.
5. Run the product before installing the next one.

Following are the detailed steps for setting up a network licensed deployment. Follow all of
the general steps in the order they are mentioned on the previous page, and refer to the
following procedures when you need specific details about performing a step.
Create a Network Share (for Products Using the Deployment Wizard)
A network share is an installation folder that you make available to users’ computers on a
network. Create a network share that will be used by the Deployment wizard during the
creation of a client deployment. The network share is the location where you point users to
install the program.
It is recommended that you name the network share folder Autodesk. Make sure that the
new subfolder located under the shared Autodesk folder clearly conveys the product name.
(For example, the Autodesk Architectural Desktop subfolder could be named Autodesk/ADT
2006.) See the following example:
Note: To create a network share, you must have Change and Read permissions. Users
must have Read permissions to access the network share and administrative permissions on
the workstation where the program is installed.
To create a network share
1. Create a folder named Autodesk.
2. Right-click the Autodesk folder and click Sharing and Security (or Sharing).
3. In the folder’s Properties dialog box, in the Sharing tab, select Share This Folder.
4. Adjust any settings or permissions as necessary, and then click OK.
