Assigning a deployment to a computer installs the program the next time the computer is restarted. A deployment that is assigned to a computer can be used by any user of that computer. Generally, you should assign the program to a computer if the computer is used by a large number of users. NOTE Autodesk products are designed to be installed on a computer so that any user who logs on to the computer can run the software.
