Autocad installs

Hi there,

I have an environment of 100 users and some of them have standalone and network versions. I am in the process of collecting which users have standalone and which users have network version. My question is what is the easiet why to find out these users? Is there any tool or how can I tell which user is using what.

Regards, Habib

sometimes easiest is simple.. perhaps just a mass email with instructions on how to check which 1 they have..?

then for those that dont answer a manual check..
1) Start autocad
2) Select Help->About
3) Click the Product Information button.
Btw...if you post which autocad version your are looking at, I can point you to a registry key that will tell you. The value of the key is different depending which autocad version you are using.

autocad 2009 -- standalone
Thanks,
On the installation DVD, there is a set of tools and Utilities, including a set of CAD Manager tools
Install that
Run the AutoDesk Product Manager
Installation type is one of hte fields it will report.

The CAD manager does not show the difference between standalone and network version.
Any other ideas.
That's odd - mine does.  I had to scroll over pretty far to see it, and I haven't checked to see if you can add or subtract columns, but it definitely shows it.
