This post has been updated from the original posted on March 14, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our work with users and admins, we heard clearly that faster installs, better deployment processes, an improved download experience, and more control over updates are needed. We have also heard from admins that they do not like the lack of control over updates that appear in Autodesk Desktop Application (ADA). To address these concerns, Autodesk has focused on developing new and improved capabilities with Autodesk Account<\/a>. Autodesk Account provides a personalized product experience for users, access to usage data and product control that admins have been asking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these updates in Account and the services that power it, ADA could no longer serve the needs of product installations or the needs of admins. This need is served by Autodesk Access, Autodesk Account, and installation services. Today, Access is a lightweight, nimble UI, built on the core installation services that provides a way for users and admins to get the latest updates they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access also plays a crucial role in enabling Autodesk to automatically update components that are critical to providing a stable and secure service to customers such as authentication, authorization, installation, license compliance and fixing security vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look to the future, we are committed to continuously delivering new capabilities that will make Autodesk Access and Account easier, faster, more reliable, with more management capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re an admin of a large enterprise, small & medium business with less than 100 users to manage, or an individual user managing your own access, our goal is to find the right solutions to make your tasks easier and more secure than they were before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to having an open dialog with you to understand your needs and listen to your feedback, so we can adjust our roadmap to deliver the solutions you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
