AEC 2021 Cloud install/deploy methods?

randyspear6624 — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 11:20:21 GMT

We are moving to AEC 2021 products soon. Our IT and reseller have informed me that we will no longer be able to create a deployment for our users because we are moving to cloud subscription.

I have yet to meet with the reseller about this because I wanted to see for myself what the autodesk's recommended method of streamlining installs was going to be moving forward. AKA I didn't want to blindly take our reseller's word as the gospel.

When I looked into this myself, I'm still seeing most admins are doing deployments for 2021 products. I understand that this may be applicable for network users and because most of our users are working from home still we have to look into alternative methods; although I was under the impression initially that cloud installs were going to be the norm.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

certain 2021 products you create a deployment through your Autodesk account

Thanks Darren.

Our reseller is recommending we don't use deployments even though it's still available for 2021 products. I've got a call with them next week to go over what workarounds they're suggesting.

I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about this.
