Software Asset Management


A common issue in an office is not knowing what software is installed throughout the network. To resolve this Autodesk has incorporated a software inventory tool "Autodesk Product Manager" into all AutoCAD based products.

Autodesk Product Manager compiles a report, listing all Autodesk products that are installed within a PC, LAN or WAN from a single location.

Use this simple tool to investigate the distribution of Autodesk products within your organisation and check the report with your Autodesk 'ownership' to highlight any conflicts.

If you require assistance in using or locating this tool, contact our technical department.
