Since 2018, we have defended enterprise organizations against Autodesk audits and negotiated favorable licensing terms. We are NOT an Autodesk partner, reseller, or affiliate. We work exclusively for our clients.
We are NOT an Autodesk partner, reseller, or affiliate. We have zero commercial relationship with Autodesk. This independence means we serve only your interests—not Autodesk's revenue targets.
AutodeskAudits was founded by licensing audit defense specialists who have spent two decades responding to software compliance audits on behalf of Fortune 500 organizations. We understand how audits work because we have lived through them—and we know how to defend against them.
Every audit is an adversarial proceeding. Autodesk has unlimited resources, professional auditors, and a playbook designed to maximize findings and remediation costs. Your organization needs counsel that understands both your exposure and the leverage points in the negotiation.
We offer two critical services for enterprise Autodesk organizations:
Every engagement follows the same principles: transparency, precision, and fiduciary duty to our client. We do not take sides with Autodesk. We do not recommend unnecessary remediation. We do not recommend license purchases you do not need.
Our process begins with a complete audit of your current Autodesk environment—deployment, usage, licensing model, and commercial terms. We then develop a defense strategy (if under audit) or a negotiation strategy (if renegotiating). We lead all conversations with Autodesk's team and own the outcome.
We charge a fixed fee for engagements. We do not take a percentage of savings. This alignment ensures our incentives are 100% aligned with yours: reduce your costs and exposure, not maximize our revenue.
AutodeskAudits was co-founded by Fredrik Filipsson and Morten Andersen. Between them they bring close to four decades of direct experience in enterprise software licensing, compliance, and audit defense across Autodesk, Oracle, SAP, and adjacent vendor estates. They personally lead every senior engagement — this is not a firm that sells access to partners and hands execution to juniors.
Our advisors have spent an average of 18 years in enterprise software licensing, compliance, and audit defense. We have worked with organizations ranging from mid-market to Fortune 50. We have negotiated with Autodesk thousands of times. We speak their language — and know when to challenge them.
AutoCAD, Revit, Fusion 360, Navisworks, Civil 3D, Inventor, and 40+ other Autodesk applications.
Desktop audits, data-driven audits, on-site audits, and forensic license compliance reviews.
Architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media, government, and education.
Standalone subscriptions, EBA agreements, volume licensing, EDU programs, and legacy contracts.
We believe that the only way to serve our clients fairly is to have zero commercial relationship with Autodesk. This independence shapes every decision we make and every recommendation we provide.
We have no partnership agreement with Autodesk. We do not refer clients to Autodesk. We do not resell Autodesk licenses. This removes any incentive to recommend unnecessary licensing or false findings.
Our duty is exclusively to you. We negotiate as if your legal team is across the table. We challenge Autodesk's findings with the same rigor a law firm would. We never compromise.
We charge fixed fees. We do not take a percentage of savings. This ensures our incentive is to reduce your costs, not maximize our revenue. Your win is our win.
All communications are in writing. All fees are stated upfront. We do not use legal ambiguity. We do not create account lock-in. We earn your trust every day.
