Change in Autodesk Perpetual License Policy

Autodesk will be transitioning new software purchases for most of their products to Desktop Subscription (Lease) based options only. As of 1st February 2016 new seats of most standalone products will move over to Desktop Subscriptions.

Customers who already have a perpetual license or purchases a new perpetual license at any time during 2016 will still retain the perpetual license to that software and can continue to use it in accordance with their perpetual license agreement. If the software product is covered by Maintenance Subscription, they will also continue to receive their Maintenance Subscription benefits.
