When your next Autodesk, Siemens, or Dassault Systèmes renewal lands, what data will you actually negotiate with?
The license usage gap no one’s talking about.

JW Marriott Hotel, Pune, India
7:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Invitation-only. Requests close October 8, 2026.
Inside the Forum
Why This Forum Is Different
Your CAD engineers have complained about license denials this quarter. You still can’t tell IT whether you need more seats or fewer.
This is not a product demo. The Software Intelligence Forum India 2026 is an exclusive, invitation-only evening for senior engineering leaders in Pune, built around one topic: the license usage gap no one’s talking about.
Expect a room built around your peers’ experience with CATIA, NX, Teamcenter, MATLAB, and the rest of that stack, not a vendor presentation.
No vendor agenda
The conversation is build around your peer’s experience running CATIA, NX, Teamcenter, MATLAB, and the rest of that stack, not sales presentation.
The number that changes renewal conversation
One Siemens module licensed for 55 users. Usage data showed 99% of real demand was covered by 24. The remaining 31 were available for reallocation rather than renewal.
A room built for conversation
Roughly 30 guests. Engineering leaders facing the same renewal cycles, the same denial complaints, and the same audit exposure.
