For Offerings purchased prior to May 18, 2018, and maintenance plans purchased at any time, see here: https://www.autodesk.com/company/legal-notices-trademarks/access-use/subscription-offerings.
Special Terms may apply to Your access and use of certain Offerings and Offering Benefits, and such access and use is conditioned on Your agreement to the indemnification included in the Special Terms.
Single User supports individuals that seek to use Autodesk products on their own.
For any Single User Offering, each Authorized User must be assigned a unique Autodesk ID. The Authorized User must log in using their Autodesk ID to install and/or access each Single User Offering, and no one else may use the same Autodesk ID to access and/or use such Offering.
Your Authorized User may concurrently use only one (1) Desktop Device and one (1) Mobile Device at a time to access the Software.

For purposes of this section only, “access” does not include batch processing, renders, idle usage (i.e., when the Software is open but there is no user input) or similar activities that may run in the background of the Software (“Background Activities”). For the avoidance of doubt, Your Authorized User’s access of the Software to perform Background Activities does not count toward the concurrent use limits set forth in this section. Any Background Activities are subject to reasonable rate limits and technical limitations, which Autodesk has the sole discretion to impose at any time without notice.
You may reassign Your Single User subscription from one (1) individual Authorized User to another individual Authorized User if You follow and complete Autodesk’s policy and process for reassignment and comply with these Terms. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that each individual Authorized User has a unique Autodesk ID, and that the single-user subscription is assigned to the Autodesk ID for the individual Authorized User who is actually accessing and using the subscription. If Your Offering is described as "Education Single User," then the terms applicable to that Education Offering can be found in the section titled “Education” herein.
Certain Single User Offerings are not eligible for Premium Plan Benefits.

Multi User supports Teams that seek to use Autodesk products.
For any Multi User Offering, Your Authorized Users are limited to: (a) Your individual employees, and (b) Your consultants and contractors, to the extent they work on Your premises and/or on computers and other Electronic Devices owned or leased by You. Your Authorized Users may access and/or use the Offerings solely for Your internal business needs. The number of concurrent Authorized Users may not exceed the maximum number of Authorized Users as specified in Your subscription documentation or other technical limit or subscription limit imposed by Your subscription. Your Authorized Users may access the Offerings via Your local area network (LAN) or virtual private network (VPN), but either such network must use current industry standard security, encryption and protection practices to prevent unauthorized use.
You may (i) install the license server component of the Software to which You have subscribed on an Electronic Device within Your local area network acting as a file server; and (ii) install copies of the corresponding Software on Electronic Devices used by Your Authorized Users.
Multi User Global Use Rights. For Multi User Offerings, provided that the Territory in which You purchased the Offering was the country in which You reside if You are an individual, or the country in which You are incorporated, chartered or otherwise organized if You are a legal entity (Your “Home Country”), You and Your employees may install and access such Offering outside the Territory on one (1) unique Electronic Device per individual that is traveling – i.e., You or Your employee, respectively. While You or Your employee are located outside the Territory, such Offering may not be copied or transferred to any other Electronic Device or accessed by anyone other than You or Your individual employee while outside the Territory. For Multi User Offerings, Authorized Users other than You or Your employees are not eligible for Global Use rights.
Support while traveling outside the Territory is available according to the support hours for the country and region in which You are traveling.
For Multi User Offerings, You or Your employees may install and access a copy of a purchased Offering on one (1) Electronic Device located in the Territory but away from Your business site, so long as access and use is only for Your own internal business needs, including but not limited to individual employee training on use of the Offering , including any previous versions You may be entitled to use and any related materials (a “Home Use Copy”). Access to and use of any Home Use Copy is subject to the following conditions: (a) the number of Home Use Copies that You or Your employees install may not exceed the number of seats you have purchased for the Multi User Offering; (b) You must follow the processes and policies set out from time to time by Autodesk for requesting and using a Home Use Copy; (c) You or Your employee may not access or use two (2) or more Multi User Offering seats concurrently (e.g., at Your business site and a Home Use Copy); (d) to access and use the so-called second copy of the Offering, You must receive a Home Use Copy authorization code from Autodesk, and Your right to use a Home Use Copy starts when Autodesk issues you such authorization code and ends on the earlier of termination or expiration of your Multi User subscription or thirteen (13) months from the date Autodesk issued you such authorization code; (e) Home Use Copies are not permitted for Upgrades; (f) in the event of loss, a Home Use Copy will not be replaced or reissued; (g) Autodesk does not provide Support to Home Use Copies; and (h) if the employment of Your employee, who has a Home Use Copy, terminates, You are responsible for terminating that individual’s access to such Home Use Copy.
If You acquire a Switched Subscription, You or Your employees may continue to use Home Use Software copies authorized and activated prior to the switch if the same Software is included in the Switched Subscription. If the same Software is not included in the Switched Subscription, You and Your employees must cease using the Home Use Software copies upon switching. For the terms and conditions governing Switched Subscriptions, see here: https://www.autodesk.com/company/legal-notices-trademarks/switched-subscriptions-terms-and-conditions.
Flex enables Authorized Users to access eligible Autodesk products on demand with Tokens
Any Offering eligible for Flex is listed on the Flex Rate Sheet and is known as a “Flex Offering.” Each Flex Offering is listed in the Flex Rate Sheet. “Flex Rate Sheet” means the current Autodesk document listing Flex Offerings and the applicable number of Tokens required to access and use an Offering as specified in the Flex Rate Sheet. The Flex Rate Sheet can be found here: https://www.autodesk.com/flexratesheet. “Token” means the individual unit of measurement that may be applied toward access to and use of Flex Offerings in accordance with the consumption rates shown on the Flex Rate Sheet. A Flex Token is exclusive to Flex and cannot be used in place of tokens, credits or other similar proxies associated with other Offerings. Non-Flex tokens, credits or other similar proxies associated with other Offerings cannot be used for Flex.
All Flex Offerings have an associated Token Rate (which may be zero in some cases), as specified in the Flex Rate Sheet. “Token Rate” means the rate at which a Flex Offering consumes Tokens when the Flex Offering is first accessed by an Authorized User. For Token Rates measured on a per-day basis, the “day” is the contiguous twenty-four (24)-hour period that begins when an Authorized User first launches the Flex Offering. When an Authorized User launches a Flex Offering, Tokens will be consumed at the applicable Token Rate until the Authorized User exits that Flex Offering.
Flex Offering Features and Details. For any Flex Offering, You may assign an unlimited number of Authorized Users, but each Authorized User must be registered, set up in Autodesk Account, and assigned to a Team with access to at least one (1) Token Pack. Each of Your Authorized Users may only access and use a Flex Offering on one (1) Electronic Device at a time. “Token Pack” means a specified quantity of Tokens purchased as a unit. You may purchase additional Token Packs at any time, including multiple Token Packs as part of a single purchase or single Token Packs at different points in time. Individual Tokens and partial Token Packs are not available.
Flex Offerings have no fixed contract term. All Tokens expire twelve (12) months from the date of purchase of the Token Pack containing those Tokens. No credit, refund or other accommodation will be provided by Autodesk in connection with Token expiration. You may not sell, sub-license, or otherwise convey Your Tokens. However, You may transfer Your Token Pack to an Affiliated Entity, but Your remaining token balance of such Token Pack must be transferred in full. Such Affiliated Entity’s access and use of the transferred tokens shall be subject to the Terms. The term “Affiliated Entity” as used in this section means, with respect to transferor and transferee entities, the entity that controls, or is controlled by, the other entity, or the parent entity in the case where both transferor and transferee are under common control of such parent entity. For more information, see the compilation of business information regarding the Flex Offering model which may include but is not limited to purchasing or other offering operational rules, requirements, policies or other limitations or conditions, Administrator and Authorized User best practices, and other general information regarding the Flex Offering (“Flex Offering Materials”). Flex Offering Materials can be found here: https://www.autodesk.com/benefits/flex#faq and https://www.autodesk.com/manageflex#faq
When the Tokens Packs assigned to Authorized Users have been completely consumed and no Tokens remain, those Authorized Users will be ineligible and unauthorized to access and use any Flex Offerings or the associated benefits, including those products that consume zero Tokens. When the Token Packs assigned to an Authorized User has Tokens remaining but in an amount insufficient to satisfy the required Token Rate applicable to a Flex Offering, such Authorized User will be ineligible and unauthorized to access and use any Flex Offering for which there are insufficient Tokens remaining, but they will remain eligible and authorized to access and use any Flex Offering for which sufficient Tokens remain and any Flex Offering that has a zero Token Rate. Autodesk reserves the right, without further notice, to shut off access to and use of Flex Offerings by Your Authorized Users in cases where You have a zero Token balance, insufficient Tokens or nonpayment of invoices when due. If You have an unpaid invoice, Autodesk also may restrict Your ability to purchase additional Token Packs.
Autodesk may, at any time, add, modify, or eliminate, in whole or in part, any Flex Offering, contents of the Flex Offering Materials or the Token Rates contained in the Flex Rate Sheet. Such additions, modifications, and eliminations will take effect immediately upon publication of a new Flex Rate Sheet or update to Flex Offering Materials, or on such later date as specified in the updated Flex Rate Sheet or Flex Offering Materials.
Flex Offering Benefits. The Offering Benefits for Flex available to Your Authorized Users will depend on whether those Authorized Users also are assigned to other types of Offerings and, if so, the applicable Plan Benefits of those Offerings.
If a Flex Authorized User is not also assigned to any other Offering Type or is additionally assigned to one (1) or more Single User subscriptions on Standard, the Offering Benefits available for that Flex Authorized User will be the same as the benefits available to that Authorized User for Single User subscriptions on Standard, except for reporting, which, for Flex only, will be as described herein in the section titled Flex Usage Reporting and Related Requirements.
If a Flex Authorized User is also assigned to any other Offering on Premium, then the Flex Offering Benefits for that Authorized User will include Premium Plan Benefits.
Exceptions to the Flex Offering Benefits, if any, will be included in the Flex Offering Materials.
Flex Global Use Rights. For Flex Offerings, whether purchased in an Approved Country or a Non-Approved Country, You and Your Flex Authorized Users may access and use such Flex Offerings worldwide.
Flex Data Collection and Use. Autodesk will monitor use of Flex Offerings by collecting Authorized User Flex Offering usage data, if available, on an ongoing basis. You or Your Administrator, as applicable, will have access to reporting related to such usage data and the associated Token consumption. Autodesk will process this data to generate applicable usage reports, maintain and/or deliver the Flex Offering and related Benefits and assist You or Your reseller with sizing and quoting additional Token purchases. For Flex, Autodesk (a) collects and meters usage data as each Authorized User, assigned by You, consumes Tokens by accessing and using such Offering, (b) provides You with usage data regarding Token consumption, and (c) subtracts Tokens from the total number of Tokens You have available based on the specific Offerings used by Your Authorized Users and the applicable Token consumption rate for each such Offering. Collectively, the foregoing in this section is referred to as the “Flex Data Collection and Use Purposes.” For the avoidance of doubt, the terms in this section titled “Flex Data Collection and Use” do not affect Autodesk‘s right to use personal data received from or on behalf of You that Autodesk processes as a Controller for the purposes described in the Autodesk Privacy Statement, here: https://www.autodesk.com/company/legal-notices-trademarks/privacy-statement.
Flex Usage Reporting and Related Requirements. You will have access to reporting information related to Flex Token consumption, including Token balance and Token consumption as specified in the Flex Rate Sheet.
For any Flex usage reporting that You use, You acknowledge and agree that You are responsible for compliance with all requirements under the applicable privacy, data protection and employment laws related to such collection and use of personal data of Your Authorized Users, whether employees, independent contractors, or otherwise, including any applicable requirements related to notice, consent, transfer (including cross-border transfer), disclosure and use, and in particular in connection with the collection and use of types of data described in the section titled “Flex Data Collection and Use”. Without limiting the foregoing, You are specifically responsible for notifying Authorized Users of and/or obtaining their valid consent to collection and use of personal data for the Flex Data Collection and Use Purposes, where such notice and consent are required.

Cloud Credits may be required to perform certain tasks using Autodesk products, such as creating a rendering or running a simulation.
“Cloud Credits” are units of measure used across certain Autodesk consumption-based Web Services. You may purchase Cloud Credits or You may be granted Cloud Credits. Cloud Credits function similarly to Flex tokens, and, in most cases, Flex tokens have replaced Cloud Credits. The token rates included in the Flex Rate Sheet also apply to Cloud Credits. For more information, please see the Flex Offering page.
Cloud Credit usage rates are determined by Autodesk and vary by service based on such elements as quality and size. Autodesk may change usage rates for Cloud Credits and product allocations from time to time, and the new rate is effective as of the date indicated in the Flex Rate Sheet. Cloud Credits may not be sold, bartered, traded, transferred or exchanged and will expire according to their respective attribute.
From time to time, Autodesk may allow use of Cloud Credits beyond the allocated entitlement or designated expiration date. This does not imply continued use rights at the excess level or beyond the designated expiration date. Autodesk will charge You for any excess usage. For variable usage rates, Autodesk will endeavor to notify users of anticipated usage prior to running the service.

Value-Based
For any Value-Based Offering, the Annual Declared Value is used to determine the applicable pricing for the Value-Based Offerings. In the event that the Annual Declared Value increases during the Offering Term as a result of You being acquired or You acquiring new companies or businesses either as part of Your own business or as Subsidiaries, You will provide to Autodesk an updated Annual Declared Value, and Autodesk reserves the right to charge additional fees for the Value-Based Offerings.
If the applicable Autodesk quote or Autodesk order documentation reflects that the Annual Declared Value for a Value-Based Offering is limited to a particular affiliate, business unit, region, project, or other limited scope, You agree to restrict Your use of the Value-Based Offering to the stated scope. You represent and warrant the accuracy of the Annual Declared Value set forth in the applicable Autodesk quote or Autodesk order documentation.
Your Authorized Users may only access and use the Value-Based Offering for work in Your account unless the Authorized User has been designated by You for use outside of Your account.
Value-Based Offerings are not subject to automatic renewal.
For Value-Based Offerings, the following definitions apply: "Project" means the specific work to be planned, managed or undertaken by You or Your Subsidiaries which is, or is directly related to, the construction of a particular facility, structure or infrastructure. "Project Value" means the total value of a Project, including, but not limited to, the cost of all labor and materials; cost, and cost of use, of equipment; cost of architectural and engineering work; overhead costs from site survey to owner handover; interest and taxes paid during construction or other work; Your and any of Your contractor's profits; and all subcontractor and vendor costs related to a Project whether or not they are under the direct control of You or Your Subsidiaries. "Annual Declared Value" means, as determined by the applicable metric and scope (if any) identified in the applicable Autodesk quote or Autodesk order documentation: (i) the aggregate Project Values of all of Your Projects and the Projects of Your Subsidiaries, if Annual Declared Value is based on Your annual construction volume; (ii) the aggregate annual revenue of You and Your Subsidiaries, if Annual Declared Value is based on annual company revenue; or (iii) the aggregate annual capital budget of You and Your Subsidiaries, if Annual Declared Value is based on annual capital budget.

You may initiate a Switch only after Your Offering is not eligible to be returned. Further, a Switch is only permitted in cases where You switch one (1) product for one (1) other product, or You switch two (2) or more products for one (1) other product. When switching one (1) product for one (1) other product, the cost of the switched-to Offering must exceed the cost of the changed-from Offering.
When switching two (2) or more products for one (1) other product, the cost of the switched-to Offering must exceed the total cost of the changed-from Offerings. The changed-from Offering with the latest end date will be used to determine the end date of the switched-to Offering Term.
You are not permitted to switch one (1) product for two (2) or more other products, or switch two (2) or more products for two (2) or more other products.
When You initiate a Switch, You may also change Your Offering Term. You may switch an annual subscription(s) to a multi-year subscription, or a multi-year subscription to an annual subscription. In doing so, your switched-to Offering Term will end on the latest date of Your changed-from Offering Term(s).
When You change one (1) or more annual subscription(s) to a multi-year subscription, Your annual subscription(s) will end on Your original subscription end date(s), and then will renew for a three (3)-year Offering Term. When You change a multi-year subscription to an annual subscription, You may only do so in the third year of Your initial multi-year subscription. Once changed, Your new annual subscription will end on Your original multi-year subscription end date, and then will renew for a one (1)-year Offering Term.
You may initiate a Switch with a future Switch Date that is no more than thirty (30) days in advance. Once You initiate a Switch, including a change to Your Offering Term, the Switch cannot be undone. Any Switch will apply to all seats included with Your Offering (e.g., if You have five (5) seats included with Your changed-from subscription, all five (5) seats will be subject to the Switch).
You will be able to access both the changed-from product(s) and the switched-to product for fifteen (15) days after the Switch Date. However, You are not permitted to access the changed-from product(s) and switched-to product concurrently during this fifteen (15)-day period. Upon fifteen (15) calendar days following the Switch Date, all Offering benefits of the changed-from Offering(s) (the “Original Offering Benefits”) will terminate. After such termination, except as noted in any additional terms and conditions applicable to Your switched-to Offering, (a) You must cease all use of any Original Offering Benefits, and (b) You will no longer have the right to access or otherwise use any such Original Offering Benefits. At Autodesk’s request, You agree to uninstall and destroy or return to Autodesk or the reseller from which they were acquired all copies of the Original Offering Benefits and, on request, show satisfactory proof that all copies of any Original Offering Benefits have been uninstalled and destroyed or returned to Autodesk or the reseller from which they were acquired.
Any amounts pre-paid for the remainder of the changed-from Offering Term(s) will be applied as daily pro-rated credit as of the Switch Date to the cost of the switched-to Offering Term during the then-current open billing period (e.g., if You have a multi-year Offering Term and Switch during year 2, the pro-rated credit, if any, would apply to Your year 2 billing). Any unbilled amounts for your changed-from Offering(s) will be canceled upon the Switch Date. Any renewal of Your switched-to Offering Term will be priced at renewal.
You may change Your payment method when performing a Switch, but the cost of the switched-to Offering will remain in the same currency as the currency in which You transacted with Autodesk before the Switch. However, if You fail to pay any amounts owed, then Your switched-to Offering will be terminated for non-payment, the changed-from Offering will not be reactivated, and any daily pro-rated credit will be forfeited. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in these Terms of Use, any switched-to Offerings are not eligible to be returned for a refund.
Any Offerings that You may Switch during Your Offering Term are not eligible for a renewal discount until You renew such Offerings for a subsequent Offering Term, and any discounts that You may receive in connection with an Autodesk trade-in program (e.g., TTN, M2S, and I2S) will terminate upon the Switch Date.
Only Offerings purchased via the Autodesk new buying experience are eligible to Switch, and this excludes the following Offerings and subscription types: Flex Offerings, Premium, and monthly subscriptions. Other terms and conditions may apply. All Switches are subject to Autodesk approval.
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms or in the General Terms, when the term of Your paid Autodesk Forma subscription expires or terminates, all of Your Authorized Users will be converted automatically to Viewers, and Autodesk will continue to store Your Content so that it remains accessible in Autodesk Forma to Viewers on the conditions described below. Such access to Autodesk Forma remains subject to these Terms.
Upon the expiration or termination of Your paid Autodesk Forma subscription, (i) so long as You are in compliance with these Terms, Autodesk will stop storing Your Content only upon advance notice to You, and (ii) otherwise, Autodesk may delete, without notice, any or all of Your Content, including backup and other copies thereof. This convenience does not relieve You of the responsibility for retaining and securing complete copies of Your Content at all times.

Standard Plan Benefits may include any of the following, as described herein:
Autodesk will provide Standard support in English to an Authorized User whom You have designated to submit support requests and receive technical support for Your Offerings (a “Support User"), though other languages may be available on request. Administrators may qualify as Support Users for select Plan Benefits.
Autodesk will provide Standard Support via web, email, or other modes as described below. Support requests are prioritized by severity level as reasonably determined by Autodesk. Autodesk is not obligated to provide technical support to Viewers, for Trial Versions or previous versions of Offerings, for incidents caused by computer hardware not supplied by Autodesk, third party software not supplied or specified by Autodesk, inadequate training of Your Authorized Users on use of the Offerings (excluding Trial Versions), or use of Offerings (excluding Trial Versions) in a manner inconsistent with these Terms or the General Terms.
Your Support Users must submit a valid support request unless otherwise directed by Autodesk in writing (e.g., via Your Autodesk Account). To submit a valid support request, Your Support Users must: (a) provide Autodesk with any information reasonably requested by Autodesk to provide support; (b) follow all instructions and perform any preliminary troubleshooting or problem analysis procedures made available by Autodesk; and (c) implement any fixes, corrections, or workarounds recommended by Autodesk.

Not all modes of support will be available in every region or every language.
Adoption Support. Autodesk may also provide deployment, set up, or adoption assistance for selected Offerings in its sole discretion. Additional fees and other terms and conditions may apply to these services. Not all modes of adoption support will be available in every region or every language.
Autodesk may provide You with general advice and direction, information, recommendations, insights, estimates, projections, and opinions in connection with Your Offerings. Such guidance and information are provided for informational and general discussion purposes only and do not constitute specific advice; guarantee any business, financial, or other outcome; or create a binding agreement with Autodesk. You must conduct your own independent analysis and assessment before acting on any of the guidance or information provided.
You may elect to enable Usage Reports. With Usage Reports, Your Administrators can generate reports showing Subscription usage by Authorized User, by Subscription, on a specified frequency. Your use of Usage Reports is subject to the following conditions:
Autodesk also may share insights and recommendations based on the usage data with Your Administrators for You to assess and evaluate independently.
SSO, or single sign-on, enables Your Authorized Users to have federated access to Your Offerings and related Offering Benefits.
Autodesk will provide You with onboarding materials and instructions to enable You to register and configure SSO for Your domain. You are responsible for implementing SSO for Your organization. Once the registration and configuration process is completed, when Your Authorized Users seek to sign in to Your Offering using Autodesk’s sign-in process, they will be directed to Your entity sign-in process where they will enter their entity credentials (e.g., their enterprise email and password).
The General Terms generally require You to uninstall previous versions of Software when You install a new version of that Software, but the previous version right as described in this section (the “Previous Version Right”) create an exception to such requirement. The Previous Version Right is available for Single User Offerings, Multi User Offerings, and Flex Offerings only. Your use of previous versions of the Software is subject to the same scope of use and restrictions (e.g., license type, license version, and license quantity) as the current version of the Software.
For Single User Offerings, You may install and non-concurrently access eligible previous versions of the Software.
For Multi User Offerings, Authorized Users are permitted to concurrently install and access the current version and eligible previous versions of the Software so long as such use in the aggregate does not exceed the total number of seats permitted by Your Multi User subscription.
For Flex Offerings, Your Previous Version Right attaches on the date of Your first purchase of a Token Pack and will continue for any subsequent Token Pack purchases until if and when your Token balance reaches zero. If your Token balance reaches zero, You will lose the Previous Version Right. However, at such time, if You purchase additional Token Pack(s), Your Previous Version Right will reset and begin on the date of such purchase.
The Previous Version Right for Flex Offerings is not available for product versions 2016 and earlier. If You have a subscription to a product and also use Tokens to access certain functionality within that product, Your Previous Version Right, if any, shall be determined by your subscription, not any Tokens that You may have. For purposes of this section only, any Token Pack details, including but not limited to purchase dates and Token balances, shall be determined at the team level of Your Autodesk Account
Autodesk is not obligated to provide You with electronic or physical media, authorization codes, or activations for any previous version. Installation of and access to any previous version is subject to the terms and conditions that apply to such previous version. If Autodesk provides You with ancillary products that enhance or supplement the previous version, installation and access to such ancillary products are subject to the terms and conditions that accompany such ancillary products and the terms and conditions that apply to the previous version that the ancillary product is intended to enhance or supplement. You must follow the processes and policies, if any, set out from time to time by Autodesk to request and obtain previous versions. If Your subscription expires or otherwise terminates, Your rights to use all previous versions covered by that subscription terminate, and You must immediately uninstall and stop accessing such previous versions.
Eligibility. Eligible previous versions are listed on the Previous Versions List, available here: https://www.autodesk.com/support/account/manage/versions/previous-versions. Generally, but not always, the Previous Version Right is limited to the three (3) previous versions most recently preceding the current version. Typically, when a new version of Software is released, (a) the Previous Versions List is updated; (b) the new version becomes the current version; (c) the former current version becomes the most recent previous version; and (d) the former oldest previous version is removed from the list.
You may use any previous versions on the Previous Versions List plus any previous version that You received from Autodesk and still have in Your possession (either in the form of a media kit for that version or a downloaded copy of that version) that was either (i) the current version, or (ii) a listed previous version when You received it but was subsequently removed from the list.
If You purchase a Switched Subscription, and the Software from Your original subscription is also included in Your Switched Subscription, You may continue to use the current version and any previous versions You were eligible to use prior to switching of the original subscription Software, as previous versions to the Software are included with Your new Switched Subscription. If, however, the Software included in Your original subscription is not also included in Your new Switched Subscription, You may not continue to use the current or any previous versions of the original subscription Software and instead must uninstall and destroy all versions of the original subscription Software within sixty (60) days after You install Your new Switched Subscription Software. Autodesk may require You to provide proof that any original subscription Software required to be uninstalled and destroyed under this section has been uninstalled and destroyed and/or conduct an audit as provided in the General Terms.
To help illustrate the Previous Version Right, Autodesk offers the following examples:
Single User Example. In 2013 You purchase two (2) Single User subscriptions to the then-current version of AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2013. At the time of purchase, AutoCAD 2012, 2011 and 2010 are listed as eligible previous versions on the Previous Versions List. Authorized User #1 downloads and installs previous versions for 2012, 2011 and 2010 and each new version as it becomes available (e.g., AutoCAD 2014, 2015, etc.). Authorized User #2 downloads no previous versions but does install each new version as it becomes available. Both subscriptions are renewed annually. Then, in 2018, Your business needs grow, and You purchase a third Single User subscription to AutoCAD 2018. At the time of the new purchase, AutoCAD 2017, 2016 and 2015 are listed as eligible previous versions. Here are Your Previous Version rights for the three (3) subscriptions:
Multi User Example. In 2015, You purchase a Multi User subscription to the then-current version of AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2015, with five (5) seats. Your contract manager downloads and installs each version of AutoCAD available, AutoCAD 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012. In 2018, You renew the subscription with the same number of seats. Here are Your Previous Version rights for the five (5) seats of the Multi User subscription:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3 (Acceptable Use of Offerings) of the General Terms, if You have purchased an eligible Offering, You may access and use such Offering on or via the internet or via wide-area network (WAN), other non-local network, or virtual private network (VPN) (“Virtualization”). Not all Offerings are eligible for Virtualization. Virtualization is not available for Web Services Subscriptions and Web Services benefits included with Software subscriptions. The Virtualization List identifies the Offerings that are, and are not, eligible for Virtualization. The Virtualization List is available here: https://www.autodesk.com/support/account/admin/manage/virtualization. Autodesk may periodically update the Virtualization List. All additions to the Virtualization List apply prospectively, and all removals from the Virtualization List apply retroactively.
Autodesk will support any eligible Software that You virtualize, except for: (a) support requests where the reported incident cannot be reproduced by Autodesk on a physical machine, outside of any virtualization environment, and (b) incidents caused by or related to any third-party virtualization software or Your virtualization environment, including, without limitation, no obligation to assist with compatibility or interoperability issues related to use of any Software with any third-party virtualization software or Your virtualization environment.
Certification Disclaimer; Assumption of Risk. Autodesk may publish information regarding use of Software in virtualized environments (“Certification Information”) from time to time on the Autodesk Knowledge Network and similar Autodesk web properties, in Documentation, or in other locations. Such Certification Information are provided merely as a convenience to You for informational purposes and reflect only such limited testing as Autodesk has performed with respect to specific versions of specific Software used with specific third-party Virtualization technologies and/or specific Virtualization environments. Certification Information is provided on an “as is” basis and may contain errors, inaccuracies, incomplete information and other misstatements. If You intend to use Virtualization, You should perform Your own independent compatibility assessment before doing so.
By using Virtualization, You acknowledge that such Certification Information does not constitute any form of promise or commitment of any particular level of compatibility between any Autodesk Software and any third-party virtualization technology. If You use Virtualization for an Offering, You assume all risks associated with such use, including, but not limited to incompatibility between Software and third-party Virtualization technology and/or Your Virtualization environment.
For some Offerings, You or Your Authorized User may grant read-only access to Your purchased Offering to certain individuals, subject to reasonable technical limitations that Autodesk may impose at any time without notice. Likewise, for some Offerings, certain individuals may access Your Content via Autodesk’s free online viewer tool, available at https://www.autodesk.com/viewers. Any of the aforementioned individuals, upon receiving such access, may be referred to below and elsewhere within these Terms, the General Terms, Special Terms, or Documentation for an Offering as “Viewers,” “Basic Access,” “Read-Only Access,” or similar (collectively, “Viewers,” or individually, “Viewer”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Viewer is a type of Authorized User and subject to these Terms and the General Terms.
Viewer access is limited to the individual who was granted access and must not be shared with any other individual or entity. Viewers may view Your Content or, in some cases, Your workspace within the Offering but are not permitted to edit, provide input, or otherwise modify Your Content. Unless provided otherwise in these Terms or the Special Terms, Your Administrator may revoke Viewer access at any time, and Viewer access will terminate when Your Administrator revokes such access or, for some Offerings, when Your paid subscription period expires or terminates, whichever is earlier.
Viewers do not count toward Your total number of Authorized Users. Viewer access does not require token usage.
Autodesk makes no promise, warranty, or guarantee to Viewers or their access to Your Content, workspace, or Offering. Autodesk disclaims all liability with respect to Viewers. Viewers are not entitled to any Subscription Benefits, including support. Autodesk reserves the right, without further notice, to suspend or terminate Viewer access at any time.
If You purchase Premium, You will receive the following Premium Plan Benefits in addition to or in place of, as indicated, the Standard Plan Benefits:
Premium Plan Benefits can only be accessed or used by Authorized Users who have been assigned to Your active, unexpired Offering and to whom Premium Plan Benefits have been assigned. For Single User Offerings, at all times during the Premium term, each Team that is assigned Premium Plan Benefits must include at least one (1) Authorized User. You will not be entitled to receive a refund for any amounts paid for any Premium purchase due to the lapse of any Single User Offerings on Standard.
All In Requirement. For any Single User Offering, if an Authorized User on a Team managed by a given primary Administrator is upgraded to Premium, all other Single User Offerings assigned to that Authorized User and to any other Authorized Users on that Team and other Teams managed by that same primary Administrator also must be upgraded to Premium as part of an initial purchase, a Renewal True Up, or Anniversary True Up event. The foregoing is referred to as the “All In Requirement.” Autodesk reserves the right to immediately disable or suspend Your access to and use of any of Your Offerings for Your non-compliance with the All In Requirement.
Premium Plan Benefits for support, as described in this section, shall replace the Standard Plan Benefits for support. Autodesk will provide Premium Support to Your Premium Authorized Users in English, though other languages may be available on request.
Autodesk is not obligated to provide technical support to Viewers, for Trial Versions, for incidents caused by computer hardware not supplied by Autodesk, third party software not supplied or specified by Autodesk, inadequate training of Your Premium Authorized Users on use of Offerings (excluding Trail Versions) or use of Offerings (excluding Trial Versions) in a manner inconsistent with these Terms or the General Terms.
Your Premium Authorized Users must submit a valid support request unless otherwise directed by Autodesk in writing (e.g., via Your Autodesk Account). To submit a valid support request, Your Premium Authorized Users must: (a) provide Autodesk with any information reasonably requested by Autodesk to provide support; (b) follow all instructions and perform any preliminary troubleshooting or problem analysis procedures made available by Autodesk; and (c) implement any fixes, corrections, or workarounds recommended by Autodesk. Autodesk may engage third parties to assist in the delivery of technical support under Autodesk's direction.
Premium Support via Web or Email. Web or email support will be provided to Your Premium Authorized Users during the available support hours set forth in the table below, except that web support may be temporarily unavailable during scheduled system maintenance. Autodesk’s web support-related communications will generally be posted to Autodesk Account, and Your Premium Authorized Users will be notified of the posting of the information by email. In Autodesk’s discretion, Your Premium Authorized Users may also be contacted by email or telephone for specific incidents.
Autodesk will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Your web or email support requests within eight (8) hours irrespective of severity level during the applicable regional support workweek for each Autodesk business region as shown in the table below. For certain Offerings, the applicable local support hours may be those for a specific region or country, irrespective of the region or country in which Your support request originates.

Live Support. In addition to the other modes of Premium Support described in this section, live support is available to Your Premium Authorized Users or Administrators for eligible Offerings, as described below:
Premium Support via Other Modes. Autodesk may offer support via other modes beyond web, email, and live support from time to time (for example, schedule a call, support for APIs provided via Autodesk Developer Network, or remote desktop troubleshooting). Modes of support may differ depending on Your Offering. Additional terms may apply to these modes of support, including but not limited to conditions relating to technical requirements. Not all modes of support will be available in every region or every language.
Adoption Support. Autodesk may also provide deployment, set up, or adoption assistance for selected Offerings in its sole discretion. Additional fees and other terms and conditions may apply to these adoption support services. Not all modes of adoption support will be available in every region or every language.
Support for Previous Versions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Previous Version Rights section in the Standard Plan Benefits above, for Your Premium subscriptions, Autodesk will provide technical support for the current version of Your Offering and all previous versions on the Previous Versions List.
Autodesk will provide You with access to materials created to assist with Your onboarding and use of Premium Plan Benefits and may include onboarding documentation, tools, and similar aids (“Success Materials”). Success Materials may include repeatable packaged services, curated technical support resources, and other training or informational content (e.g., articles, videos, webinars) which are designed to provide best practice guidance or assist with onboarding and adoption of Your Offerings (“Accelerators”). You are responsible for requesting access, independently evaluating, and using the Success Materials. Success Materials and Accelerators are available to You during the Premium term and subject to change without notice. Additional requirements, restrictions, or limitations may apply to certain Accelerators as set out in the description of the relevant Accelerator (e.g., technology prerequisites, geographic availability, language, participant numbers, limited number of Accelerator deliveries per time period, Accelerator expiration if not utilized within a certain time period, etc.).
All Accelerators are made available on an “as is” basis without warranty of any kind, and You access and use them at your own risk. Autodesk shall have no liability for any actions taken or results obtained by You through use of Your Success Materials.
All Success Materials are the Confidential Information of Autodesk. Autodesk reserves all intellectual property rights in and to Success Materials worldwide. You may not copy, modify, disclose, or distribute Success Materials for any reason without the express written license of Autodesk.
Data Collection and Use. You understand that Autodesk may collect information and data related to Your access and use of Accelerators on an ongoing basis during the Offering term. When You access or use an Accelerator, Autodesk will process this data to generate the reports described in the section titled “Usage Reports” herein, and to maintain, improve and/or deliver the Offering and related Offering Benefits.
Directory Sync connects Your user directory to Autodesk’s user management platform so that Your Administrator can auto-invite, auto-assign and auto-delete Authorized Users’ access to Your Offerings.
Autodesk will provide onboarding materials and instructions to enable You to configure Directory Sync. To activate Directory Sync, You must first set up SSO for Your domain. You are responsible for implementing Directory Sync in Your environment.
