Yes, it tedious
Yes, we would prefer Autodesk giving us proper software to update the
installation point, it's not that difficult to do. With a couple of hundred
workstations to install, we don't want to first install and then update all
the workstations as we are only now updating from 2000i to 2002.
We have tested this with 2000i and 2002, it works on both, why not the
others.
