Clarity Task Server 2024 has a feature which does its best to auto-select whatever projects your are performing tasks on within your Desktop Connector environment. This is an inexact approach, but it is all that Autodesk allows us to do (we've pushed them for an API, or a change in behavior to better support Task Servers).

When 16.3 Desktop Connector was released, some customers saw problems with our automation to auto-select projects. On August 3rd, we released a task server update that mitigates the issues that were seen.

We still recommend staying on Desktop Connector 15.8 for as long as

For clients using named user licensing, Autodesk has started enforcing that one named user cannot be logged in on 3 machines at the same time doing work.  When that happens, you will see the following warning, which will only allow you to have this user account accessing software on one machine at a time.

What Autodesk has told us in these cases is: The legitimate way of using Clarity with named-user licenses, is to have each task server have a separate email (user license) for each task server, just as if you had robotic interns sitting at each one doing

The Clarity Team is pleased to announce the availability of Clarity 2024.

Autodesk has previously announced that they are discontinuing support for a Forge API used to upload models to BIM360. They are basically stepping out of the middle, and encouraging all Forge developers to upload directly to Amazon S3. This discontinuance is planned for September 30, 2022. (interested in more info? See Here)

In order to be fully supported for all features of integration with BIM360, you must be updated to at least the following Clarity Updates to not encounter problems (depending on your Clarity version):

Older versions are not currently planned to be supported.

Hi folks - 

In reviewing the feedback from the survey here, we saw that a lot of people had updated to our recently recommended Desktop Connector (15.4) - but were still encountering issues with tokens.

We continued to work with Autodesk on why this was - and we recently realized that a significant percentage of companies that deployed Desktop Connector 15.4 or 15.5 STILL did not get the update to ADSSO that was supposed to be included in these updates. It is not clear why. But the key to fixing the token issue is technically not with Desktop Connector but

Hi folks - 

We hope that you've seen our link about the Autodesk Desktop Connector update making some significant improvements in the BIM360 Revit token issue.

We were hoping that you could take a super quick survey just to tell us your experience with it.

We're working with Autodesk on the issue, and they'd like to know if what they've done has "moved the needle" or not.

Survey here:

Thank you for your time!

We have been working with Autodesk for some time, trying to identify why the Desktop Connector and AdSSO components have been frequently "stepping on one another", causing the loss of the BIM360 token on Clarity Task Servers.

Autodesk today released Desktop Connector 15.4.0.1677 Download: https://help.autodesk.com/view/CONNECT/ENU/?guid=GUID-03D59AAD-65B0-45E3-84F2-A12AAA5BB267 

According to one Clarity customer who was involved in pre-release testing of this version, it resolved more than 70% of the "lost token" issues. While this is not 100% - we're extremely grateful for this kind of progress.

We strongly recommend deploying this version of Desktop Connector to anyone who has had issues of the BIM360
