Disabling the Autodesk Customer Involvement Program

When deploying any Autodesk product (AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, etc.) across a multi-user environment, the Customer Involvement Program (CIP) popup appears on first launch for every user. In an enterprise, this is noise your users don't need.

Disable it via registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\MC3
"CIPMode" = dword:00000000

For HKLM (machine-wide):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Autodesk\MC3
"CIPMode" = dword:00000000

Enterprise deployment: Push this registry value via Group Policy Preferences (GPP) or bake it into your silent install script/transform. For modern AutoCAD deployments, the Autodesk Account portal also allows admins to pre-configure CIP settings in deployment packages.

Privacy note: CIP collects usage telemetry and sends it to Autodesk. In regulated environments (healthcare, government, financial), disabling it isn't just a convenience — it's a compliance requirement to minimize unnecessary data transmission.
