Autodesk audits are amongst some of the most common. This could be attributed to the fact that Autodesk have some visibility as to the install and usage data for certain products. So this is often a software vendor that customers categorise into their ‘Tier 1’ listings for frequent monitoring on a SAM (Software Asset Management) level.

There are also substantial gains to be seen by monitoring Autodesk software regularly; as even though Autodesk have moved to a subscription-based licensing model (which means simpler administration for you) there are equal opportunities here for over-allocation. As an expensive investment, a good SAM program that includes Autodesk optimisation could save your organization a considerable amount on your IT budget.
