Seeking to enhance AutoDesk license monitoring transparency?

Switch to OpenLM Solution for AutoDesk

OpenLM Solution for AutoDesk helps you track AutoDesk licenses and enhance visibility across the organization.

 

For effective AutoDesk License monitoring, all you need is an AutoDesk standard subscription and OpenLM SLM to get the control on your Single-user subscription and Token flex licenses. Additionally, you can also get usage insights using OpenLM’s Advanced reporting.

 

3 major upgrades in AutoDesk Licensing models post-2017

Software collections:

AutoDesk no longer provides individual software modules. Instead, one has to opt for a collection of multiple applications based on their business needs. Currently, AutoDesk offers the following collections:

Name of the collection
Apps you get under this collection

1. Product, Design & and Manufacturing Collection (PDMC)

Inventor, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, 3ds Max and more

2. Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection (AECC)

Revit, InfraWorks, Civil 3D, Advance Steel and more
3. Media & Entertainment Collection (MEC)

Maya, 3ds Max, ReCap Pro, Arnold and more

Note that a single software application can feature in multiple collections. For example, you will get 3ds Max with both PDMC and MEC.

Change in license types:

AutoDesk gradually stopped giving floating and perpetual licenses after 2017. For using AutoDesk licenses, now you have to opt for either Single-user subscriptions (cloud-based named-user licenses) or Token-Flex.

Introduction of subscription plans:

When it comes to reporting, AutoDesk has introduced subscription plans: Standard, Premium, and Enterprise.

Now enjoy premium AutoDesk benefits with just a Standard annual subscription

Thanks to OpenLM Solution for AutoDesk

If you seek premium Autodesk features in reporting but have a limited budget, don’t worry. Now you can access premium benefits with only a standard subscription of AutoDesk, provided you opt for OpenLM support.
