Autodesk Licences

Autodesk offers a subscription based licence for InfoAsset Manager. All InfoAsset Manager features including menu and toolbar options, databases, database items and network objects are available with an Autodesk licence.

Please contact us if you require any assistance with a licence.

This menu is available in the title bar of the InfoAsset Manager workspace. An example of the menu in InfoWorks ICM is shown below.

Note: When a trial licence is used, an indicator is displayed next to the Account menu, which specifies the number of days remaining before the licence expires.

The following options are available:

• Explore Purchase Options - opens the Autodesk Products page in a web browser.
• Manage Licence - opens the Autodesk Licence Manager window, which can be used to manage your Autodesk licence.

  

  Licence information is displayed by clicking >.

  Clicking the Change licence type link displays the Autodesk Let's Get Started window, which you can use to switch Autodesk accounts.

  Contact Autodesk support if you require assistance.

• Privacy Settings - opens the Autodesk Sign In window where you can sign into your Autodesk account to manage your personal information, security and settings.
• Sign Out and Quit - Displays the Autodesk Sign Out and Quit window. Click Continue to sign out of your Autodesk account or Cancel to cancel the sign-out operation.

  

Subscription overuse

Based on your subscription, InfoAsset Manager licences may only be used on limited number of devices at any one time. When this limit is reached and you try to use the software on another device, a Device Limit Reached dialog is displayed. It lists the devices the software is currently being used on and lets you pause the usage on a selected device so that you can use the licence to access the software on the current device. An example is shown below.

Click:

• Pause product - Pauses the use of the licence and software on the selected device. You can now use the InfoAsset Manager on the current device.
• Sign in as another user - Displays the Autodesk Let's Get Started dialog. If you have access to another licence, you can sign in using it.
• Manage remote devices - Opens the Autodesk account compromise suspected page.
• Check again - Checks if the device licence limit is still at the maximum. If it is, the dialog is redisplayed. If not, you will be able to work with ICM on the current device.
• Quit - Closes InfoAsset Manager on the current device.

When using an Autodesk licence, InfoAsset Manager goes into idle mode when you stop actively using the software. This prevents you from being charged daily tokens when you leave InfoAsset Manager open overnight, at the weekend or while on vacation.
