Subscription Terminology Changes

1.1 What changes are happening to Autodesk subscription?

On February 1, 2016, we will introduce intuitive new terminology to help drive clarity and simplicity in our

subscription offerings. Essentially, we’re doing away with subscription branding in order to make it easier for

you to choose and purchase the best Autodesk products and services to fit your business needs.

The tables below outline the new subscription terminology for:

Subscription-based offerings

Formally known as:

Now referred to as:

Desktop Subscription or Cloud Service Subscription

a subscription

with single-user access

“network subscription”

with multi-user access

Offerings added to a perpetual license

Formally known as:

Now referred to as:

Maintenance Subscription

a maintenance plan

Autodesk offers the following options, allowing you to choose which best fits your needs:

Single-user Access

(formerly Desktop Subscription)

Licenses that are assigned

to a single user and cannot be shared

Multi-user Access

(formerly network subscription)

Licenses that can be shared

on a network server

Recommended for Individual Team

Shared License No Yes

1.2 When will these changes take place?

The new subscription terminology will be implemented on February 1, 2016.

1.3 Will these changes affect Autodesk products or my existing subscription?

The terminology changes will not affect your Autodesk products, the way you access your software or your

ability to renew your current subscriptions or maintenance plans. If you subscribe to an Autodesk product or

have a maintenance plan attached to a perpetual license, you will still have access to the latest software

releases, licensing rights, cloud storage, technical support, and more. If you’ve purchased perpetual licenses

with maintenance plans, you can continue to renew your maintenance plan for as long as you like.

1.4 Do these changes affect “network subscription”?

What we’ve previously referred to as “network subscription” will now be referred to as subscribing to products

or services with multi-user access. This will be available beginning February 1 and will allow you to share access

and assign software or services to more than one user or device.

1.5 Where can I go to get more information?

If you have questions about the new terminology, please contact your Autodesk Authorized Reseller or your

Autodesk sales representative.
