Hello JDisc friends, similar to the last topic about software license management, I would like to introduce a new feature that has been developed under the Christmas tree :-). Starting with release 3.2 build 3207, we do collect software license information for Autodesk software. Martin Thompson from the ITAM review has published a nice article…
