CADDManager on July 24th, 2014

I attended a webinar today on the 2015 Autodesk Application Manager presented by Erik Klein.  It seemed pretty promising for the SMB sized firms.

Autodesk defines this new tools as :

Autodesk Application Manager is a cloud-centric software delivery solution, which includes a desktop software component that self-installs with all Microsoft Windows®-based Autodesk 2015 products and suites.  This solution replaces previous product update components, specifically LiveUpdate, portions of InfoCenter / Communication Center, and CAD Manager Control Utility (note that these components will remain in production to support previous product versions).

What it does is assist in the management of your installed versions of your licensed products under subscription.  There is an installed client that gets put in place with the install of 2015 products (this can be turned off).  Once installed the CAD Manager can create lists of users on the Account Portal and manage notifications and distributions of software upgrade, patches and hot fixes.
