Deploying Multiple Clients

You can install the SolidWorks product on multiple clients by creating an administrative image and then deploying the installation to clients.

Although Systems Administrator status is not required to install the product on multiple machines with SolidWorks Installation Manager, administrative privileges are required. For automated administrative image deployment, you can create an administrative account with full privileges on each client computer and specify it when you create the administrative image.
