Customers of Infraworks version 2020: when applying the hotfix for 2020.2, the update will launch the product after installation for the very first time and you may encounter a window asking for git credentials. You will need to close the git credentials window. This only happens on the first launch.

 

Customers using previous versions that no longer qualify for full support should plan to upgrade to a supported version as soon as possible to avoid downtime and potential security vulnerabilities. Visit the Autodesk Knowledge Network for more information about previous version support.
