1. Known Autodesk Bundle Recognition Issues 

Overview 

Historically, bundle recognition relied on specific applications or registry data being present to confirm a bundle installation. If the mandatory component was detected, the bundle would be recognised automatically. 

In recent years, some vendors (including Autodesk) have changed how this data is generated. As a result, the required data for confirming certain bundles is no longer consistently available. 

Because of this: 

• Automatic bundle recognition may no longer trigger. 
• Customers may need to manually override bundles in SLM to ensure visibility. 

Known Autodesk Bundles Impacted  

The following bundles no longer generate consistent data for their mandatory components:  

• AutoCAD Revit LT Suite 2027  
• Last version: 2023  
• Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection 2027 (AEC)  
• Last version: 2026 
• Autodesk Interoperability Tools 2027 for Revit  
• Last version: 2023 
• Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection 2027 (M&E)  
• Last version: 2026 
• Autodesk Product Design & Manufacturing Collection 2027 (PDM)  
• Last version: 2026 

1. Lifecycle Data Cleanup (Non‑Top Vendors) 

We completed a targeted lifecycle data cleanup to improve consistency for older, non‑top vendor applications. 

As part of this task, we have reviewed and updated a total number of 266,880 applications that are 10 years old or older and confirmed whether reliable lifecycle information was available. 

Where no verified lifecycle data existed—and where the vendor was confirmed not to be a top vendor—lifecycle fields were standardised to N/A. 

This approach ensures clearer, more reliable reporting and avoids misleading lifecycle assumptions. 

1. Lifecycle & Support Status Updates: 

As part of our lifecycle improvement work in April 2026: 

• Lifecycle data was updated for 4,913 applications across multiple software families 
• 2,499 applications now include an accurate release date 
• 547 applications now include a verified end‑of‑support date 
• 326 applications now include a verified end‑of‑life date 

The following top vendors accounted for the highest volume of lifecycle changes in April: 

• Red Hat, Inc.  – 219 applications 
• JetBrains s.r.o  – 165 applications 
• VMware, Inc – 84 applications 
• Autodesk, Inc. – 75 applications 
• Cisco Systems, Inc. – 68 applications 

In addition, support status inconsistencies were corrected to improve overall data reliability.
