Is there a way we can get invetnory of Autocad Application License using Asset Manangement ? 

On Windows, the LICPATH.LIC file for 2017 & 2018 & 2019 Version products are located in  C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\CLM\LGS\Product-Key_201x.0.0.F.
For example for AutoCAD 2019 the path to LICPATH.lic file would be C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\CLM\LGS\001K1_2019.0.0.F\LICPATH.lic.

Environment

Release : 1402

Component : DESKTOP MANAGEMENT SUITE

Resolution

You can do this by creating a software definition signature based on the file (file that has your license information).
Then the software inventory (signature scan) will report the machines that have this file

See the signature of the firm in the image below.

Ex 1:

<file name = "igateway.conf" path = "*" match = "4.0.060220" />
Search file igateway.conf containing 4.0.060220

Ex 2:
You can put partial path like below.

<file name = "\Autodesk\CLM\LGS\001K1_2019.0.0.F\LICPATH.lic" path = "*" match = "string_to_search" />
