Subscription and software management

00:03

Within your Autodesk account, you can access your products and services as a user.

00:09

Contract managers and software coordinators also have extra capabilities in Autodesk account,

00:15

such as assigning users to specific software.

00:18

A user is anyone who has a registered account with Autodesk.

00:23

Users cannot assign software or services to themselves,

00:27

but they can view, download, and use software that has been assigned to them. Users can also view their

00:32

cloud server usage and remaining cloud credits.

00:37

A contract manager is the main point of contact for Autodesk software.

00:42

As such, they receive any e-mail communications from Autodesk, can assign, remove, and reassign software to users,

00:51

and can manage the contracts for the account.

00:54

A software coordinator has the same rights as a contract manager, except that they cannot amend contracts themselves.
