Autodesk Cloud

info

Two-factor authentication must be turned off to establish the connection.

For monitoring Autodesk Cloud, OpenLM connects directly to the Autodesk Cloud admin portal.

There are two ways to gather license usage:

  • With Workstation Agent or AutoCAD Plugin: These communicate with OpenLM Applications Manager, which transmits usage data to OpenLM Server. This method provides detailed usage data.
  • Without Applications Manager: Only license quantity data is gathered. To capture usage details, see the Applications Manager documentation.
