01 KEY BENEFITS OF SUBSCRIPTION

  technologies and services to fit your needs

• Flexible Control - Better manage users and costs by providing access

  to the right products and updates when your team needs them.

  productivity and future needs with reporting tools and alerts.

02 ENHANCED TECHNICAL SUPPORT

• By moving to subscription, you get to receive all the great benefits

  you have while on maintenance, plus even faster and easier help

  when you need it.

• Thanks to our new online support platform Freshdesk, customers now have

  more control over their cases. You can track your ticket’s progress,

  access previous cases, and see which member of our support team is handling it.

  It's our way of enhancing your customer experience and ensuring you receive the best support when you need it. 

03 PREVIOUS VERSIONS USAGE RIGHTS

• In most cases, you can continue to use versions of software

  downloaded and activated under your maintenance plan after

  switching to a subscription.

• You'll have access to previous versions as per the Subscription

  Previous Versions Eligibility List.

• See the Move to Subscription Terms and Conditions for more

  information.

04 COST ADVANTAGES FOR EARLY BIRDS 

• The earlier you switch to a subscription, the more you’ll save compared to those who

  stay on a maintenance plan.

• Maintenance plan prices will increase 10% after 7th May 2018, and 20% after 7th

  May 2019.

• Also, the discount to switch will decrease by 5% in May 2018 and another 5% in May 2019.

05 SECURE DISCOUNTED PRICING

• Pay one year at a time with an annual contract and secure special pricing for up

  to 3 years (when you switch to subscription before May 2019).

• Or pay upfront with a multi-year contract.

• Benefit from lower prices than a new subscription or a maintenance plan renewal

  price (in most cases) for as long as you renew.

06 DON’T LOSE YOUR SPECIAL PRICING ADVANTAGE

• You need a current maintenance plan to be eligible for this offer.

• If you let it expire and later decide to subscribe to Autodesk products, you will need

  to pay full price for a new subscription.

• Not ready to switch? Renew your maintenance plan and choose to switch when you are

  ready. Continue to enjoy benefits granted to you via your maintenance plan.

08 YOUR DATA IS YOURS

• Your data remains your proprietary information – even after your subscription expires.

• Any files and data created using products while on a maintenance plan continue to

  be available after you switch to subscription.

• Where you store your data (cloud or your local machine) is up to you.

09 DESKTOP APPS VS CLOUD-BASED APPS

• Desktop applications on subscription (as well as associated user data) continue to be

  stored on your local machine.

• Cloud service applications are run in the cloud.

10 ON OR OFFLINE USE 

• Subscriptions with single-user and multi-user access require an Internet connection

  for the initial download and installation.

• After the software and license are activated, subscriptions with single-user access

  require an Internet connection just once every 30 days to continue using the product.
