Customer Involvement Program (CIP)

Introduction >

You are invited to participate in helping guide the direction of Autodesk design software. If you choose to participate in the Customer Involvement Program, Showcase will automatically send Autodesk information about what features you use most, any problems that you encounter, and other information helpful to the future direction of the product.

Here is the complete list of the information that would be automatically sent to Autodesk:

Installed Autodesk applications
CPU/OS settings
Display-related settings
Input-related settings
Storage-related settings
Internet settings
License server

What the CIP service cannot do

The Customer Involvement Program is committed to protecting your privacy. It cannot do any of the following:

Collect any drawing or design data
Collect any identity information such as name, address, or phone number
Send you email or contact you in any other way

For additional information, click the Privacy Statement link in the Customer Involvement Program dialog box.

You can start or stop your participation in this program at any time. Access to the controls is available from the Showcase Help menu.
