Autodesk is going full subscription this 2016!

Posted February 16, 2016 by Anthony Tayo

Makati City, Philippines – Last January 31, 2016 Autodesk ended the sale of most individual desktop software products in the Philippines and ASEAN and come this July the retirement of perpetual seats of design and creation suites will follow as expected. But what these changes are all for? What’s in it for its customers who have been used to buying perpetual licenses? What does this really mean?

If you purchased an Autodesk perpetual license last January 31, 2016 or still considering to purchase through July 31, 2016 you will continue to own and have full usage rights for that license.

If you are currently on maintenance for your perpetual license, you will receive software updates and corresponding benefits for as long as you continue to renew. You can renew your maintenance plan for as long as you want.

And if you are a customer new to Autodesk, the new subscription model makes a lot of sense. Subscription offers a simplified customer experience, lower upfront cost, and the ability to pay for Autodesk software for the amount of time that is right for you.

Here’s a complete list of your benefits when you subscribe to Autodesk:

1. Individuals, teams and enterprises have more choices than ever before

Flexible term lengths

With monthly, quarterly, annual, and multi-year terms, you can get exactly the software you need for as long as you need it.

2. When you subscribe you have instant access to the latest product releases and enhancements.

• Stay current on the latest software rather than waiting for major product releases
• Update software right away, or choose a time that is right for your entire team

3. Software when you need it, where you need it.
