Subscription Resources and Privacy
Subscription resources provide interactive product features over the Internet.
Each time you access subscription resources (such as e-Learning or Create
Support Request) from Communication Center in an Autodesk product,
product information (such as the serial number, version, language, and the
subscription contract ID) is sent to Autodesk for verification that your product
is on subscription.
Autodesk compiles statistics using the information sent to subscription
resources to monitor how they are being used and how they can be improved.
Autodesk maintains the information provided by or collected from you in
accordance with Autodesk's published privacy policy, which is available at
http://www.autodesk.com/privacy.
To open the Subscription Center
1 Click the Communication Center
button in the InfoCenter box.
2 On the Communication Center panel, under Subscription Center,
click the subscription resource you want to access.
NOTE Subscription Center is not available to all product users. If subscription
resources are not available in your product, your product is not entitled to
subscription benefits.
Manage Files with Autodesk Vault
If you are a subscription customer, you have access to Autodesk Vault, a file
management tool that provides a repository where documents and files are
stored and managed.
Autodesk Vault gives you more power to manage files and track changes.
Versioned copies of master files are maintained, allowing you to easily revert
to earlier versions of files. You can check files out for editing and later check
them back in. The master copy is never directly edited.
Autodesk Vault consists of two required components: the Autodesk Data
Management Server and the Vault Client. Optionally, you can also install the
Vault Office Add-in.
For information about using the Vault, refer to the Vault Help system.
