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.
TIP The main components for the Autodesk Vault can be downloaded from the
Autodesk Subscription site.
Use Communication Center
Communication Center provides up-to-date product information, software
updates, product support announcements, and other product-related
announcements.
Overview of Communication Center
You can click the Communication Center button to display links to
information about product updates and announcements, and may include
links to RSS feeds.
Whenever new information is available, Communication Center notifies
you by displaying a balloon message below the Communication Center
button in the InfoCenter box.
