What is adSSO.exe ?
I can't tell you that there won't be any side effects of deleting all traces of adSSO, but it does seem abnormal that its launching so many parallel processes and bogging your system down. May I ask that you post this question over in the installation and licensing forum?

I transferred this post to the I&L forum, perhaps @natasha.l or @Mark.Lancaster can provide some further insights to this question!

Hello @Anonymous,
This is a old post that I would like to provide a response.
Autodesk has used ADSSO since 2016 the latest updates have helped resolve the "instances" issue mentioned in the original post above. It stands for Active Directory Single Sign On service. We refer to it as AdSSO it is a part of our licensing technology, it is a requirement for Desktop Licensing & is included in our product installers.
It is an authentication scheme that allows a user to login with a single ID and password & gain access to a system or platform. It also includes a directory service that provides network administration and security of our software.
Autodesk also provides advanced Enterprise SSO(Premium Plan) which enables users to login to Autodesk services with enterprise credentials, it recognizes your organisation based on email address, and redirects you to your company login page.
