Hello!
Has anyone tried to deploy Autodesk 2020+ products through ansible?
I have successfully installed all products up to version 20, i.e. 2017, 18,19
20x versions added a new licensing service
and it is she who incorrectly unfolds through the ansible
more precisely, the products after installation do not pass registration through this service, you have to manually register the product through the CMD and set the licensing type to it, etc.
here is an example of my playbook for deploying REVIT 2020
it has two tasks, installation, and additionally, creating a RU shortcut for Revit20:
---
- name: Install Revit 2020
hosts: all
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Install Revit
win_package:
path: \\srv\deploy$\RVT20\Img\setup.exe
product_id: Revit20
arguments: '/W /q /I Img\RVT20.ini /language en-us'
state: present
tags: rev
- name: Create revit Rus Shortcut
win_shortcut:
description: Revit 2020 RU
src: '%ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\Revit 2020\Revit.exe'
dest: '%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Autodesk\Revit 2020\Revit 2020 RU.lnk'
arguments: /language RUS
icon: '%ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\Revit 2020\Revit.exe,0'
directory: '%ProgramFiles%\Autodesk\Revit 2020\'
tags: rev, shortcut
The installation succeeds, but the 2020 product does not start and reports a Licensing Service error.
it helps to run the command through the CMD:
C: \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdskLicensing\Current\helper\AdskLicensingInstHelper.exe register -pk 829L1 -pv 2020.0.0.F -cf "\\srv\ deploy$\RVT20\Img\x64\RVT\RevitConfig.pit"-el EN
I have one solution so far ..
ansible has a module win_scheduled_task
- name: recover ADSKLic Service
win_scheduled_task:
name: ADSK
description: RecADSK
actions:
- path: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdskLicensing\Current\helper\AdskLicensingInstHelper.exe'
arguments: register -pk 829L1 -pv 2020.0.0.F -cf "\\srv\deploy$\RVT20\Img\x64\RVT\RevitConfig.pit" -el EN
triggers:
- type: registration
frequency: once
state: present
enabled: yes
username: SYSTEM
tags: rev, adsk, task
I would not like to pile up crutches during installation .. yes, and this is extra work ..
all versions up to 2020 were installed and launched without any problems via Ansible.
now like this ..
Ansible uses Winrm + Powershell on a Windows machine. perhaps the problem lies in the fact that the AdskLicense service is incorrectly installed through the service .. or I'm wrong.
