On the Configure Access to Online Resources pages, you can specify whether users can access online resources such as receiving live updates from Autodesk, enabling information or CAD Manger channels, or subscribing to RSS feeds. You can also allow access to the DesignCenter and Subscription Center, specify Customer Error Reporting and InfoCenter settings.
DesignCenter and Subscription Center
The DC Online tab in DesignCenter® provides access to predrawn content such as blocks, symbol libraries, manufacturers' content, and online catalogs. This content can be used in common design applications to assist users in creating drawings. If you turn off DC Online, the DC Online tab is removed from all installations that are based on this deployment. The Enable DC Online option is active by default.
Subscription Center provides Autodesk subscription members access to resources such as e-Learning (self-paced, interactive lessons) and web support (where customers can submit technical questions online to Autodesk support staff).
You can determine whether users who are entitled to subscription resources can access them by using Help and clicking a Subscription resource. Users who do not have such access can still learn about subscription resources by using the same option on the Help menu.
Customer Error Reporting (CER)
If AutoCAD Land Desktop closes unexpectedly, users have the opportunity to send an error report directly to Autodesk, which helps Autodesk to determine and resolve the error. You can determine whether users can also receive notification from Autodesk when their reported errors are resolved.
Configure InfoCenter Search Settings
The Search Results tab of InfoCenter can be configured to display content from various sources, such as the product Help system, CAD Manager Channels, or the Internet.
You can specify whether users who install from the deployment can customize access to their InfoCenter search locations.
