# Deployment Packages

A Deployment Package consists of the following components:

* An **Image File** used as the basis for the imaging process
* A set of **Installation Setting**s that tell the imaging software how to customize the image file.
* **Optional:** A **Driver Group** that injects additional drivers into the imaging process.

To create a **Deployment Packag**e, first, ensure that your Imaging Server is installed and has at least one Image loaded on it for deployment and that you have created a set of Install Settings for deployment.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
See [Getting Images Ready for Deployment](/faronicsdeploy/os-deployment/getting-images-ready-for-deployment.md#creating-an-image-for-deployment) if you do not already have an Imaging Server setup with at least one Image.
{% endhint %}

## **Deployment Package Settings**

### **Package Name**

The package name allows you to define a unique name for the deployment that you will be applying to client systems.

### Choose Imaging Server

In the drop-down, select the Imaging Server from where you will be sending the Deployment Package.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Deployment Packages** are **specific** to the **Imaging Server** on which they are configured.
{% endhint %}

### Choose Image

In the drop-down, select the Image that you are going to include in the Deployment Package. This list will contain all the Images currently available on the selected Imaging Server.

### Choose Install Settings

In the drop-down, select the set of Installation Settings that you created earlier. Installation settings are not specific to an Imaging Server and can be used in multiple Deployment Packages.

### Enter Product Key

In this field, you can enter the Product Key for your version of Windows.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
Please note that this field is intended to be used with Volume Licensed versions of Windows, and providing an OEM or Retail License key is not supported.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Choose Driver Group

This field will allow you to select a previously configured Driver Group that will be added into the Windows boot environment to support Imaging operations on systems that contain hardware that require the use of 3rd party drivers to function correctly.<br>
