AutoCAD 2021 for Mac Deployment

Has anyone successfully gotten this packaged/deployed with Jamf? I referenced this thread but couldn't get it going:
https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/35944/autocad-2021-deployment-with-network-server

We only need it to be on ~20 macbooks and we do not have an Autodesk license server, so we went with the standalone licensing method.

I have the installer packaged ( I tried a few different ways) and when the end device downloads it and starts the program, the AutoDesk window comes up for ~5-10 seconds and then AutoCAD quits with no message. I then tried just manually downloading/installing it on the macbook and it worked fine, so there must be some issue with how I am packaging it.

Any help or pointing me towards a guide I missed would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'm having the same issue, did you find a solution to this?

Nope, got busy with other stuff and this wasn't quite a priority. I also posted on the Autodesk forums and they told me ithat deploying with Jamf is not officially supported. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/autocad-2021-for-mac-deployment-with-jamf-help/m-p/9761975#M246041

Sorry for the late reply, hope you had better luck with this.
