As some people said before, it is used by Autodesk apps (in my case Autocad) to manage licenses. From Autodesks site, "The AdskCleanup process is used by the activation technology to manage the licenses for Autodesk software." Check the link for more info.

Causes fatal errors on my AutoCAD2005, running on Win2000Pro! Seriously annoying, AutoCAD tries to close and asks to 'try and save' my work, but to no avail... Happens regularly! Tip: set your autosave time to max of 5 mins. If not, it will be dangerous to your wallet if you, like me, get paid by the hour....

It always appears when I use 3dmax - can 'delete' in task manager, but it reopens elsewhere. Harmless.
