Autodesk Maya 2012 Installation Overview and FAQ
Install is recommended for individual users or small groups. The key point is that you will repeat the installation process on each computer. This is the only valid installation type for a stand-alone license, but it can also be used with a multi-seat stand-alone or network license.
Create Deployment is recommended for network administrators, using either a multi-seat stand-alone or network license. In the deployment process, the installation is configured once, stored on the network, and then distributed efficiently to users' computers. For more information on deployments, see Create Deployment (page 5) or the Network Administrator's Guide.
Install Tools & Utilities is used to install tools and utilities related to your suite or product. If you have a network license for your Autodesk product, you will need to use this option to install the Network License Manager before any users can run the product. Consult the documentation for your suite or product to identify the available tools and utilities of interest.
This is a customized set of installation files created by the deployment process. It is used to install a consistent configuration of programs on each computer. Other settings:
Administrative image path. Specify a shared network location where you have Full Control permissions. Users will go to this path to install the programs.
Target platform. Select either 32-bit or 64-bit to match the operating system of the computers that will use the deployment.
Include only products required by this deployment configuration. If selected, the deployment cannot be modified in the future to include additional products. If unselected, the administrative image will include all possible products, and the deployment can be modified in the future in any way.
