Install assistance - or not?

[Jim Shipley]

I am wondering if we should obtain installation assistance for AutoCAD
Electrical 2005. We currently run ACAD 2000 and will be upgrading some of
the seats to ACAD/E 2005 networked for approximately 10 users.

My question is this: Is the installation of the license manager and
creating the ACAD/E deployment extremely difficult? We have a good network
admin, and myself that knows AutoCAD. Are there any things that you can
really screw up if you don't get it right?

Thanks
Jim

It's really much easier than you might think when looking through the
documentation. Once you've done it once it's a snap. Just follow through
step by step and you shouldn't have any problems. And there's always this
newsgroup if you do run into any issues...

It really is a piece of cake after you do it once.

As was recommended before, just read the documentation, it is straight forward.

Before sending it out to all users, TEST one first, make sure you have everything in order, latest service packs, paths to customization, etc.

You will be surprised how easy it can be
