You can install the Network License Manager before or after you use the Installation wizard. The order in which you install the network applications does not matter, as long as you install everything you need and you provide consistent license server information across the network applications.
If an earlier version of the Network License Manager is already installed on the computer, you should upgrade by installing the Autodesk Network License Manager into the same folder where the older version is located. If you choose a different installation folder, you will have two versions of the Network License Manager on the computer.

your country or region, click I Accept, and then click Next.NoteIf you do not agree to the terms of the license and want to terminate the installation, click Cancel.
