Autodesk’s Subscription Transition Program - What you need to know

If you haven't already heard, there is a big change happening in the world of Autodesk software. Beginning in June 2017, Autodesk began offering a cost-effective way for customers to switch their current maintenance licenses to a subscription model plan. The program was designed to help customers realize the value of their subscription, without increasing the cost, and the perks that come with the switch are worth taking notice.

Transitioning to the subscription program will not only save money over time, but customers gain access to Autodesk’s ongoing stream of innovation, updates to core products, and cloud services for desktop products. Access to new Industry Collections – available only through subscription.

How much will it cost to switch to subscription?

What you need to know in three lines or less?

Customers can continue to renew their current perpetual licenses, but all new licenses sold will be subscriptions. This program allows users an easy way to switch all your licenses to subscription to avoid maintaining a hybrid portfolio. Autodesk’s program provides discounts to transition to subscription, which you can lock in for up to 3 years. So you’ll receive the maximum cost-savings by switching today, as the discount reduces each of the next two years.
