I am looking for is software that is client-less, that I can use for our customers (AUTODESK Software ONLY, i.e., Autocad, Inventor, Showcase, Vault, etc) to scan and audit to return serial numbers that can be exported out to an Excel file or similar to help them with their SAM programs. Autodesk’s own Asset Locator won’t do the job as you can’t customize it per domains or IP addresses. I’ve tried a bunch already with not much luck.

I’m also not looking to pay thousands of dollars for software either. Thanksįrom what I remember about Autodesk products, the serial number can be accessed several ways, one being the registry e.g. Just had a quick scan on the interweb looking for a network enabled registry scanning tool and found this Does this have to be a SAM tool if this is all you are after? How about a registry reporting application?Ĭan a script be written to get this value and then run via Group Policy on all devices? If this is still the case then you need a tool which can search the registry and report back the matching value. No idea if it will help you but if the license key is in the registry and you can get it with this typr of tool, then it will help keep your budget down. I have never used this software so have no idea how good it is, but there are obviously other tools out there like it.

You’d be able to use this as a quick test for free.

The customer can have a clause where the employee or contractor is responsible for licensing their own machine, but this does not exempt the customer from having unlicensed software running within their premises.”ĭo you agree with this? Does it make a difference if the machine belongs to a contractor or to an employee? Any thoughts or best practices? “If during an audit or visit made by a regulator, it is found that a machine belonging to a contractor or an employee has unlicensed software, the corresponding sanctions or liabilities are the customer´s responsibility since the machine and software is in use in its premises.
