What is the difference between a custom install and a deployment?

When using the Custom Install option in your Autodesk Account.

The options for a custom standalone installation and a deployment are the same. Once the install options are selected in Step 1 of the Custom Install, you decide if you want to create a standalone installation or a deployment in Step 2.

In Step 2 of the Custom Install choose "Install" if you are only installing the Autodesk product for yourself.

Choose Deploy when you need to install the products on multiple devices.

Choose "Install" to install on your computer and "Deploy" for multiple computer installs.
