Our Autodesk licensing services

Autodesk contract review

Autodesk procurement and deployment is often disjointed across an organization. 

This can often lead to multiple contracts and licenses with potentially conflicting terms, pricing and restrictions. 

The constant changes in Autodesk’s licensing process only exacerbates this issue.

Our consultants can alleviate this confusion by sifting through all of your agreements, contracts and purchase orders. We will:

  • Create a clear baseline of entitlement split across various territory restrictions
  • Identify any inconsistencies between your contracts and purchases

Autodesk Effective License Position

Our ELP service aims to help you understand your Autodesk environment. Our detailed process will guide you through the data collection to accurately determine your license requirements and compliance against the licenses you’ve procured. Through this process you will be able to identify:

  • Any potential risk from incorrect license key management
  • Any counterfeit/piracy risks
  • A comprehensive breakdown of how Autodesk products are used across your estate
  • Areas of over- or under-licensing

This service will help you plan for any upcoming renewals or future purchases.

Autodesk audit support

Similar to many CAD vendors, one of the primary focuses of Autodesk audits is to crack down on potential counterfeit software deployments.

However, just because you have received an audit notification does not necessarily mean that there are definitive counterfeit instances within your estate.

We’ll guide & advise you throughout the audit process, verifying Autodesk’s findings, ensuring that you’re never overcharged, and minimizing any potential settlements.

Key benefits of our Autodesk licensing service

Understand your license usage

Nobody wants to pay for too many licenses. Regular assessment from our experts will ensure that you don’t have too many, or too few. We’ll identify optimization opportunities, resulting in a potential reduction of your annual fees.

Fully independent advice

Our advice is all 100% independent of any software providers, meaning that we can quickly assess and subsequently minimize the damage of any hidden non-compliance, all without biases. Get to the bottom of what you owe – if anything.

Limit risk & financial consequences

Our independent advice ensures that you do not pay too much for your actual usage, and any non-compliance is reduced as much as possible. We can also support in identifying counterfeit keys in your estate and preventing any future risks.

See the results for yourself

We work with a variety of Autodesk customers, across a wide range of industries and specialisms.

By relying on our vast experience, our clients achieve tangible cost savings and real results. Here are a few examples of work we have completed:

We assisted a large multinational manufacturing company based in EMEA in managing their Autodesk environment. Our support focused on the creation of a centralized view of deployments, highlighting re-harvesting opportunities and potential territorial breaches as they occurred.

We clarified a 50k seat engineering company’s understanding of their Autodesk environment through an in-depth review of all entitlement records, including direct purchases in various local sites and deployment details based on available tooling and manual investigations. The consolidated baseline was used by the business to improve the end-to-end software request-acquisition-deployment process, as well as to promote the centralization of their agreements and purchases with Autodesk.

We have supported numerous clients with risk mitigation projects. At one client, a European energy management company, our analysis identified several cases of potential software sprawl and potential counterfeit instances of Autodesk software. This sparked a comprehensive review and subsequent update of deployment processes, as well as the introduction of improved IT security measures to prevent users from bringing in their own software.
