Retired Autodesk products and plans

Autodesk occasionally retires or discontinues new sales of certain products and services to invest resources in areas that better meet changing customer needs. A product or service is retired in two phases to ensure you have sufficient time to transition to a new tool.

  • Phase 1: New sales discontinued: You can no longer add seats or get a new subscription. But you can renew an existing subscription and support is available. No new features will be released.
  • Phase 2: Product retired: You can no longer buy or renew the product or service. Support is available until your contract expires. Subscription products can only be used until the subscription ends.

The following is a list of discontinued or retired products and services, and alternative software solutions. Please refer to the terms and conditions of your subscription agreement for complete information regarding changes to offerings.
