LICENCE COMPLIANCE

When you or your company effectively manage your software licences, you lower the chances of having nonvalid software which is more likely to contain malware. Nonvalid software also may have been manipulated by 'hackers' or 'pirates', thereby compromising your work.

Effective software management can reduce the time spent and potential costs associated with licensing issues.

Effective software asset management programmes ensure you do not download nonvalid software from unauthorised sources.

Using only genuine Autodesk software means guaranteed access to technical support. Most companies do not offer technical support for nonvalid software.

Genuine software works as expected. Plus, you have access to user manuals and reference materials that enable you to be more productive.

Instill confidence and put you and your business partners at ease. If you are contracting or subcontracting on a project, your partner will expect you to follow the law and may include use of genuine software as part of a contractual obligation.

Using only genuine software means you get the latest updates and information from Autodesk.

Using nonvalid software can lead to legal claims against you, your company and in some cases against customers of your company.
