The new way to buy for

Access to Autodesk cloud services
and products
Extend your work from the desktop to
the cloud
With an Autodesk Subscription to a commercial
product or suite you gain access to a collection
of cloud services. The virtually infinite computing
capacity of the cloud allows you to run tasks
without tying up your desktop or the need
for expensive hardware. Now you can test the
performance of multiple design options and
rapidly increase the number of visualizations as an
integrated part of your workflow.
You can access Autodesk cloud services through a
web interface or through your desktop software.
The following are but a few of the cloud services
available:
• Green Building Studio®
• Rendering in A360
• Energy Analysis for Revit®
• Mockup 360
Latest software and enhancements
Stay ahead of the competition
With Desktop Subscription you always have the
latest and most powerful tools on hand. You
can gain immediate access to software releases
and product enhancements that can help you
maintain a competitive edge all year long. Desktop
Subscription keeps your software current while
its short-term commitments help you maintain a
predictable software budget.
Licensing rights
The freedom to work the way you want.
When collaborating across internal and
external teams, you need the right software
on hand at the right time and place. With the
following Subscription licensing rights,* Desktop
Subscription gives you more freedom with your
software:
Previous Version Rights: Customers sometimes
require you to deliver projects with a specific
software version. With Previous Version Rights,
you’re able to use both previous and current
versions of Autodesk software to deliver your
projects.†
Home Use: Work doesn’t always happen in the
oce—with Desktop Subscription you’re able to
use your software at the oce or at home.
Global Use Rights: Occasionally work requires
you to travel far away from home—Global Use
Rights allow you to use your licensed software
outside the country of purchase.

By staying current with the
software, you reduce the learning
curve for each new release. You
only have a limited number of
changes and feature add-on’s to
learn. Trying to make a three or
four version jump really puts a
person behind when getting up
to speed with the new release.
