1. Here is their audit clause

21.5 Compliance -

Autodesk has the right to verify the installation of, access to, and use of any Offerings by You and Your Authorized Users. As part of any such verification, Autodesk or its authorized representative has the right, on 15 days’ prior notice, to inspect Your records, systems and facilities, including machine IDs, serial numbers, Autodesk IDs, and other related information, on Your premises using an Autodesk approved verification tool. In addition to Autodesk’s right to perform a verification on Your premises, You shall within 15 days of such verification request, provide a report to Autodesk using an Autodesk approved verification tool, that contains information relating to the installation of, access to, and use by You and Your Authorized Users of any Offerings including machine IDs, serial numbers, Autodesk IDs, and other related information. If Autodesk determines that Your installation of, access to, or use is not in conformity with these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, Special Terms or other applicable terms), You will immediately purchase new subscriptions to remedy the noncompliance, and pay Autodesk’s reasonable costs of the verification. Autodesk reserves the right to seek any other remedies available at law or in equity.
