Fusion scheduled maintenance has started

As many of you are aware from the Fusion client-banner over the past few days we have just begun scheduled maintenance, so you will notice that Fusion has placed the client in offline mode until maintenance is completed in 3-4 hours.

The maintenance window is now over.

I should have included more in my message about the maintenance window.

As you have probably noted lately, we have been working through a number of reliability issues with the Fusion client and services.  Last night's maintenance did not include a client update, and there should be no noticeable differences in working with Fusion.  

As you can imagine, there are a number of things we do on the Autodesk side to increase or update security, scale our network access / storage / etc. that keep the system healthy, but have no immediate impact on using Fusion.  Last night's update was one of those, involving changes to storage and a server change for our Fusion web platform (A360).

In this case, it is a good thing that there is no noticeable different for you in using Fusion, even though we disconnected the cloud from the client for a few hours, which is something we need to get away from.

Even though the changes are "under the hood", that's no excuse for not being clear about what we are doing.  My apologies for any confusion.
