Arkio can be deployed to multiple workstations and virtual machines using a silent Arkio deployment installer available for our Enterprise customers. If you would like access to this installer you can send us an email at hello@arkio.is

System admins can use deployment software like PDQdeploy together with our deployment MSI installer to customize the setup. A default quiet installation can be achieved with:

msiexec.exe /i \\cd-pdqdeploy\c$\YOURPATH\Arkio_vXXX.msi /quiet

Optional features can be added independently by command line and filling "Yes" or "No"

If no optional features are filled all the plugins will be installed by default

/qn INSTALL_REVIT="Yes" INSTALL_RHINO="Yes" INSTALL_SKETCHUP="No"

Predefined configurations of Arkio can be used to preset runtime details for Arkio like the license

You can download and edit a simple Arkio.config file where you can add your Arkio floating license details

{
"ActivateLicenseKey":"xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
}
This file can be placed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Arkio\Arkio_Data\StreamingAssets 
To make Arkio fill and validate a license automatically on startup for the deployed devices (when no license was filled)
If the users would open Arkio for the first time on their device. Arkio will generate the appropriate import/export folders for the various plugins at the %userprofile%\Documents\Arkio. The plugins of Arkio should appear for the users when opening their applications.

The Revit plugin can be found under Add-Ins>Arkio for Revit 2018-2022.
