Open iT Analyzer for Autodesk Licensing helps cut software license costs and reduce wastage on license usage by monitoring activity levels of all Autodesk applications regardless of licensing type.
It allows administrators in an organization to manage these costly resources by providing an enterprise view of Autodesk licenses, showing when and by whom these licenses are used over time, by location, business unit or project group, for all types of Autodesk licenses:
- Perpetual – As of January 31, 2016, Autodesk stopped selling new perpetual licenses, but those that have yet to switch to subscription-based licenses can still renew their maintenance and support, which had a price hike in 2017.
- Subscription-Based Licenses
- Standalone License – A user with a stand-alone license can download and install the software assigned to them on up to three devices, but can use only one of the devices at a time.
- Network License (Multi User Licenses) – Administrators can install a product on an unlimited number of devices, but the total number of people accessing the product at one time is limited to the number of purchased seats.
- MultiFlex – Global concurrent license
- Token-Flex – An organization has a set pool of tokens that is renewed on a yearly basis. Each individual feature/product then has it's own token cost. This cost is withdrawn from the organization's overall pool of tokens when a user opens an application or uses a feature.
- Local concurrent license agreement
- 360 product line – This can be accessed and used on web, mobile, desktop, and do not use a license manager.
Analyzer for Autodesk Licensing provides a fully customizable and advanced web-based interface for license usage monitoring. Generated reports can range from a worldwide enterprise view down to a single user, real-time or historical, and may be viewed on a web browser, printed, or exported to popular spreadsheets.

- Token-Flex is based on Distinct User per 24-hour period * Token Cost, which is supported out-of-the-box
- Supports data filtering to match license agreement, e.g. include only usage >= 5 minutes
- Hourly reporting to help identify the best 24-hour definition
- Supports changing of time zone in reporting to cater agreement's 24-hour definition
- Token-Flex is consumption-based, so it’s nice to see the running consumption in addition to the total and usage trend
- Another thing to note here are the users with very minimal elapsed time – since the usage is calculated based on the Distinct users.
