Autodesk reportedly starts license audits of customers
Overview
Gergely Orosz says Autodesk has begun license audits of its customers, a move he attributes to Autodesk copying Adobe's approach.
He criticizes the decision as penny-wise, pound-foolish.
Orosz quotes a post from PermitZIP, a small business that pays $380 per user per month, which says it received an audit email from Autodesk and will move away from Autodesk products. The report does not give the number of customers audited or the terms of the audits.
