Autodesk SAM keeps named-user subscriptions, collections and legacy perpetual seats aligned to real usage on a continuous basis, so the position is already defensible whenever a review or renewal lands. Autodesk SAM is usually delivered inside a multi-vendor SAM practice; this directory lists firms that run it, each with balanced pros and cons, in neutral order.

Software asset management for Autodesk is the between-renewals discipline that keeps the estate honest: reconciling subscribed named users, the AEC and PD&M collections, flex tokens and any surviving perpetual licences against the sign-in, install and version data in the Autodesk Account and deployment tooling. Done continuously, it catches drift — a leaver still holding a seat, a contractor added outside the population, a collection assigned where a single product is used — early enough to reclaim or re-scope before it shows up as a shortfall.
Autodesk SAM differs from Autodesk audit defense in timing and posture. SAM is proactive and ongoing; defense is the reactive work once a named-user or compliance review is already in motion. Good SAM makes defense easier and cheaper because you walk in holding a current, reconciled position rather than building one under deadline. It is rarely an Autodesk-only programme: most organisations run Autodesk inside a multi-vendor SAM service alongside Microsoft, Adobe and others, which is why the firms here are multi-vendor SAM practices that cover Autodesk as one of several publishers.
Independent SAM providers take no Autodesk resale margin, so the reclaim-and-right-size recommendations are not tied to a renewal a reseller would earn on.
A managed-SAM engagement establishes a baseline from Autodesk Account assignment and usage data plus discovery tooling, sets a reclaim and right-size cadence, and governs new requests so the position stays current. It feeds Autodesk audit defense if a review lands and the Autodesk renewal when the term comes up.

Direct answers to the questions Autodesk buyers ask most.
No. SAM is the ongoing, between-renewals discipline of keeping subscriptions and perpetual seats aligned to real usage; audit defense is the reactive work once a named-user or compliance review is already running. Good SAM makes defense easier because you already hold a current, defensible position rather than building one under deadline.
Few organisations run Autodesk in isolation; it sits alongside Microsoft, Adobe and other publishers in the same estate. The firms here are multi-vendor SAM practices that cover Autodesk as one of several publishers, which is how managed SAM is normally bought and delivered. Autodesk-specific knowledge still matters within that broader service.
The common reclaims are named-user subscriptions held by leavers or inactive users, collection licences assigned where a single product is used, and contractor or home installs outside the entitled population. Catching these continuously, rather than at renewal, is what keeps consumption from drifting ahead of entitlement. Figures are indicative and depend on your estate.
A reseller can deliver SAM but earns margin on the subscriptions you renew, which is a conflict to weigh on reclaim recommendations. Independent SAM providers take no resale margin, so the advice to drop or downgrade a seat is not tied to a sale. This directory states that relationship as a factual trade-off, never as a verdict.
