Autodesk Identity Manager does not consistently create an ARP entry, and this behavior varies based on the installer version and how the component was deployed. When no ARP entry is created, the component will not appear in Programs and Features and instead installs silently as a shared background component alongside other Autodesk products.
Autodesk has transitioned Identity Manager to a shared‑component model, which means:
It is bundled automatically with other Autodesk applications and it does not register itself in the ARP uninstall registry.
This lack of ARP registration prevents us from reliably detecting the component with our standard detection scripts.
Because our catalog and deployment workflows depend on ARP‑based detection, we are unfortunately unable to add Autodesk Identity Manager to our catalog at this time.
There is a dependency which is the Autodesk AdODIS. https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-silently-install-Autodesk-AdODIS-installer.html?msockid=29fa83b1e033620b10e79639e11963fd. This installs a service and does not appear in Add/Remove programs. Which is probably why Autodesk Identity Manager is not available.
If it helps Patch My PC to support this. The silent install for this is:
AdskIdentityManager-UCT-Installer.exe --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none
