Autodesk licences
Are you paying more than necessary for your Autodesk licences?
20 November 2025

A surprising number of companies purchase licences or take out new subscriptions without critically reviewing actual usage patterns and users' real needs. This is perhaps understandable, as licences for engineers, technical draughtspeople and other advanced users are complex and difficult to understand. This makes it easy for a manager to simply approve a purchase when, for example, a user asks to buy a new Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.

In other words, licence management is complex: different licensing models, different licences, different applications, different usage patterns, different needs, and so on. A vast range of factors influence licence usage and requirements.
This complexity, with all these factors, means that everyone can save money by optimising licence usage.
Cadnor and Cadac have a tool that analyses Autodesk licence usage patterns. In just a few minutes, you can get an estimate of how much you could save each year by optimising your licence mix. If the analysis performed by Digital Advisor identifies potential savings, we conduct a thorough, in-depth analysis of usage patterns before providing a recommendation and a specific quotation for an optimal licence mix.
See how Digital Advisor works in this video. You can upload your Autodesk Usage Report from Autodesk Account to Digital Advisor here to get an estimate of your potential savings.
