Autodesk account administrators are trusted advisors for all Autodesk software. They create bridges between business objectives and technology. Knowing who your users are and what each product does, that your company purchased, ensures that you can empower your teams with the right software.
You have received the link to your Autodesk account. The next step is to become familiar with your account and your subscription plan, as well as how to manage your users. Learn how to navigate Autodesk Account and review your subscription plan. You will then learn how to add your users and assign products to them.
Learn how to transition your company from a stand-alone maintenance plan, network maintenance plan, or multi-user subscription to a single-user subscription, where each user accesses Autodesk software under their own name, not just a serial number. This simplifies license and entitlement management and enables detailed product usage reporting, among other benefits.
Once you have assigned software to your users, you will want to discuss with them what software they have access to and help them understand the value of that software. Learn how to teach users to create an Autodesk account, activate and download their software, then teach them how to create an Autodesk account (using the correct email) and use that account to download their product and product updates.
