Keeping Your Software Current

Autodesk maintains a number of programs to help all customers get the most out of their Autodesk investment, and keep software current.

Autodesk® Subscription is the best way to stay current with the latest design technology, while gaining the benefits of simplified software management, easy budgeting, e-Learning, and support. Subscription customers receive access to resources and events, including premium benefits at Autodesk University, exclusive webcasts, and upgrades. For a fixed annual fee, you can access the technology and support services that you need to help make the most out of your software investment and keep your design tools up-to-date.

Upgrades are available for most products for the 3 versions prior to the most current version of Autodesk software. Upgrades allow customers to get the most current version of their product, or in many cases, to move to a more appropriate industry specific offering. Customers can save 50% off the price of new licenses by taking advantage of upgrades. Paths and availability vary by product.

Updates from R14 – 2007 version products are also available for customers with older products. Like upgrades, customers can upgrade to the most current version of their existing software, or a more appropriate industry specific offering. Customers can save 30% off the price of new licenses by taking advantage of these update paths. Paths and availability vary by product.
