Subscriptions

With Autodesk Subscription you get the latest releases of your Autodesk software, incremental product enhancements, personalized web support direct from Autodesk technical experts, and self-paced training to help extend your skills.

Benefits

The Autodesk Subscription program gives you automatic software updates, online training, web support, and more.

Are you ready to buy the latest release of your favorite Autodesk software? Now is an excellent time to upgrade. Before you sign on the dotted line, consider the benefits of adding Subscription to your software license.

"Subscription lets your organization protect their investment in design software by keeping up to date with every release in a cost-effective way." said Mike Caputo, Senior Director of Worldwide Subscription Sales at Autodesk. "The program offers a tremendous amount of flexibility and ease of use, and lets you connect with this incredibly knowledgeable community online via our members-only site, Subscription Center."

Need reasons to consider Subscription with your next upgrade? Here are five good ones.

1. Never worry about upgrades

   For the term of your Subscription contract, you are entitled to receive all software updates at no additional charge for products on Subscription. Autodesk Subscription protects your investment in your design technology and helps you stay competitive by keeping your design software up to date.

2. Get up to speed quickly

   e-Learning lessons give you a quick and easy way to learn about the features and functionality of most 2008 products and some previous versions. Choose from a range of online tutorials by logging into the Subscription Center or by accessing e-Learning directly from the product via the InfoCenter. These short lessons are available on demand and complement more in-depth training provided through Autodesk's Authorized Training Centers or Autodesk authorized resellers.

3. Get what you need to stay productive

   With web support you get direct, one-to-one communication with Autodesk support technicians for answers to your installation, configuration, and troubleshooting questions. Web and email communications deliver support straight to your desktop.

4. Predictable budgeting

   Subscription offers a way to make software costs predictable. Whether you opt for a one-year Subscription or a multiyear contract, your costs are known for the entire term of the Subscription contract.

5. Avoid licensing hassles

   Autodesk Subscription makes managing software licenses easier. You'll have added flexibility to allow your employees to use their Subscription software. Better yet, designers are entitled to run previous versions of the software concurrently with the latest release under certain conditions, so updates won't cause disruptions to ongoing projects where clients or partners are running previous versions.
