Transition to Named Users

Network License Trade-in Offer

From August 7 2021, Autodesk are no longer renewing Multi-user Subscriptions.

From May 7 2021, Autodesk are no longer renewing Network Maintenance licenses.

Key Points

Trade-in one multi-user subscription or network maintenance seat for two standard subscriptions, for one named user each, at a similar price you’re paying today for your existing seat or subscription.
For example, if you have 20 multi-user subscriptions, you can trade them in for 40 Single-user subscriptions at a similar price to what you’re paying today.
Then, renew at an ongoing discount to 2028*.
At time of trade-in or later, choose to upgrade to a Premium plan for more advanced features, such as single sign-on and detailed user reporting.
