Notes

Normal installation of Esko ArtiosCAD products requires access to a DVD drive.

Typical Esko ArtiosCAD installations can be Standalone (meaning no other systems are required for Esko ArtiosCAD to work and no configurations are shared), Server (meaning it shares configuration, database, and license files with other machines on the network), or Standard Client (meaning it gets its configuration and license information from an Esko ArtiosCAD Server on the network and shares a common database residing on that server). Custom installation allows distribution of Esko ArtiosCAD Server functions to two or three machines.

Where the SafeNet® Sentinel® Superpro Driver is used to license Esko ArtiosCAD it is required that a security dongle be placed on an ISA Parallel port or a USB port. PCI parallel ports, USB to parallel converters, etc. are not supported with the parallel key option.
