  • Valor NPI licenses: we are working with Siemens to resolve the issue that Siemens doesn't check out the "command-line" Valor NPI Xpedition license when running Valor checking from Xpedition Designer.

I gave a rating of 10 because, thus far, Autodesk AEC Collection Seems to be on the leading edge for what is required for the construction planning, implementation, and continued of real-world assets. Autodesk has been a great benefit for our organization and has allowed us to continue to improve not only ourselves but the people we work with. We have been using Autodesk AEC Collection for a number of years and hope to continue for a long time coming.
