Recommendations

Autodesk recommends that users install the latest available version of Autodesk Shared Components via Autodesk Access or the Accounts Portal to ensure the latest updates are installed, as these fixes may not be included in host product patches. However, customers do not need to update, uninstall or reinstall their products, as the latest shared component updates can be installed independently. As a general best practice, we also recommend that users only open files from trusted sources.
