I believe that the deployment image option only exists in the purchased version. Check the where the "Install Tools and Utilities" button is and labelled "Create Deployment".

This version of autocad is not my interest yet

Create Deployment 

 

Use this procedure to create a new deployment from the installer. In the process, you can create a default deploymentby accepting the default configuration of each installed product, or you can create a custom deployment by customizing the configuration settings of one or more products in the deployment.

Important: When you specify the path to the administrative image, the use of a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path is strongly recommended to ensure that the path will be the same for all users over the full lifecycle of the product. Also, if your administrative image is nested inside a series of subfolders, you risk exceeding the path length limit set by the Windows operating system. Avoid this possibility by placing your administrative image in a location at or near the top directory of the server, such as \\\\serverXX\\Deployments.
  1. Close all running applications on your computer.
  2. Start the installer.
  3. On the first page, if language choices are available, select a language for the deployment instructions, and then click Create Deployment.
  4. On the Configure <name> page, Administrative Image section, specify the following data:
    1. Enter a descriptive name for the deployment that identifies the user group, platform, or other attribute to differentiate this deployment from others.
    2. Enter the path or browse to the shared network folder where you want to create and store your administrative image. Users install the program from this location.
    3. Select either32-bit or64-bit for the target operating system.
    4. Choose whether to include only the products required by this configuration.
      • If selected, the deployment cannot be modified in future to include additional products.
      • If unselected, the administrative image will include all possible products, so the current deployment can be modified in any way.
  5. In the Installation Settings section, select one or more of these options:
    • Silent mode runs the installation in background, without prompting the user for any input. Note: Silent mode can automatically restart the user's computer without warning after installation.
    • Log file on each workstation can enable users to review and troubleshoot their own installations.
    • Network log file in a central location supports the network administrator in reviewing data for all installations. Note: The network log file must be in a shared folder where users of the deployment have read-write access. Otherwise, log data for user installations cannot be written to the log file.
  6. Review and accept the Autodesk software license agreement.
  7. On the Product Information page, select your license type, and enter your serial number and product key. If this data is valid, green check marks appear.
  8. If you are sure that the product information is correct, click Next.
  9. On the Create Deployment Configuration page, select the products to include in the deployment.
  10. If you need to configure settings for a product, click the product name to open the configuration panel where you can review and change settings. Important: The configuration settings you choose apply to every instance of the product installed from the deployment. After the deployment is created, these settings can be changed only by modifying the deployment.

    Configuration settings vary widely by product. For more information, see the Installation Help supplement for the product.

  11. Click Create to create the deployment.

    After the deployment is created, the Deployment Configuration Complete page opens, showing the path to the new deployment and a link for registering products online.

  12. After you have finished using this screen, click Finish.
