Dear Autodesk Customer,
As a follow-up to our previous message about the end of perpetual licenses sales, this is an update to provide you sufficient time to understand the additional business changes we are making, along with your options so that you may evaluate your needs and take any required action before the change becomes effective.
On January 31, 2016 Autodesk will stop selling new perpetual licenses of individual products. As part of this same transition to subscription-based offerings, after July 31, 2016, Autodesk will no longer sell new perpetual licenses (both standalone and network licenses) of Autodesk Design & Creation Suites.
When this takes effect, Autodesk will provide new, simplified subscription options so you can access multiple products and share licenses as you do today.
Why is Autodesk making these changes?
Autodesk will be able to provide new, simplified subscription options that allow you to flexibly subscribe to software solutions that precisely match your needs. Learn more about your options
What about my current perpetual licenses?
They are yours. You will be able to continue using your existing software licenses indefinitely, including any new perpetual licenses purchased before January 31 (for individual products) and July 31 (for suites). For perpetual licenses with active Maintenance, you will continue to receive updates to your existing software version along with other benefits for as long as you continue to renew your Maintenance Subscription on time.
Which individual products and suites are impacted?
To learn which individual products and suites are impacted by this change, visit www.autodesk.com.au/products/perpetual-licenses. You can also contact your local Autodesk Authorized Reseller or Autodesk sales representative.
Our commitment to you
To pave the way for a smooth transition, Autodesk and our resellers will work with you to make the shift from perpetual licenses to subscription-based plans as seamless as possible, and to deal with situations requiring exceptions promptly. Our intent is that by providing you with as much advance notice as we can, you can anticipate and plan for these changes.
Sincerely,
Jeff Wright
Vice-President, Customer Engagement
