Managing Your Autodesk Subscription with Single-User Access

An Autodesk software subscription with single-user access allows a named individual to access Autodesk software installed on their computer. Since access is granted to the person, not the machine, individuals may use the software wherever they are located. What this means from a practical perspective is, instead of activating the software for a specific computer, individuals sign-into their software from whatever machine they’re using.

Since subscriptions with single-user access follow the individual, not the machine, the Autodesk Account web service is used to authenticate access to a user’s desktop installation. To run the software, a user must have both an Autodesk ID, and an active seat/license for that software assigned to their account. Contract Administrators and Software Coordinators can set up both of these by logging into an Autodesk Account with their own Autodesk ID. If you’re not sure of the Autodesk ID for your organization, try the email address of the person who purchased the software.
