In the states, single-user-licensed AutoCAD installs do not use a dongle.
But I do bet the engineering hand-me-down computers still had AutoCAD on them.
As a result, this was probably more of a focused AutoCAD bust, rather than Microsoft triggered.
The BSA has targeted several manufacturers over the years, looking for those running multiple copies of AutoCAD from a single license. They consider getting them for the bad Microsoft installs a bonus.
