I wouldn't worry about that, I'd worry that the documentation isn't up to date with the development and that they break it, you get the broken version, and you have no control over their fix timetable, you got it free, what do you mean SLA? :-)
Autodesk are one of the nastiest companies in CAD/CAM and actively buy up and integrate or kill anything that might threaten their margin, the sooner they go the way of Carillion the better.
