So I felt a bit left out I did not receive this letter but did get this in the last hour, seems like they are doing some phishing perhaps? I am apparently meant to have a 'review' ready for 2a 'discussion' lol. If i'm running legit versions - eg only versions from last instance of an active licence - should I just ignore this or..?
Dear Autodesk Customer, As already issued in the letter sent to you, dated 22.07.2015, we ask you to check your Autodesk software installations regarding the usage of previous version (s), without current maintenance subscription. Because we did not receive any feedback so far, we will contact you shortly to check on the compliance matter. Please have your review ready for discussion.
