How do I switch my license from stand-alone to
network or network to stand-alone?
If you simply entered the wrong license type by mistake, and are still running
the installer, use the Back button to return to the Product Information
page, and change the License Type.
If you want to change the license type for an installed product, contact your
Autodesk reseller or license supplier to obtain the new license and serial
number. Then uninstall your product and run a new install to change the
license type and enter the new serial number.
When performing a Typical installation, what gets
installed?
A Typical installation includes the following features:
Contains Autodesk Navisworks Redistribut-
able ActiveX control.
Redistributable ActiveX Control
Contains full set of Autodesk Navisworks
files.
Program
Why should I specify the Project Folder and Site
Folder?
You can share global Autodesk Navisworks settings, workspaces, datatools,
avatars, Clash Detective rules and custom tests, Presenter archives, object
animation scripts, and so on, with other users.
These settings can be shared across an entire project site, or across a specific
project group depending on the required level of granularity.
Autodesk Navisworks examines the current user profile and the all users profile
on the local machine, and then checks the settings in the Project Directory
and the Site Directory. The files in the Project Directory take precedence.
