What does this mean for me as an Autodesk Customer?
By transitioning our maintenance and multi-user subscriptions to new named user plans, you’ll unlock significant benefits now and in the future, at a cost consistent with what you pay today.
Benefits include:
- Optimized licensing costs, by
having visibility into your usage data.
- No need to manage your own
license servers or track an anonymous
serial number again. - Dedicated access for all
employees who need it. No more downtime
waiting for licenses. - Tailored support and learning
content to employees based on insights.
Like most SaaS
providers, plans are designed for named users and provide a range of
administrative, support, and reporting capabilities matched to your business
needs.

We’ll provide you with the best trade-in path to a named user subscription experience at your first renewal date.
