Policy Changes
We want to take a moment to make you aware of the following changes being implemented by Autodesk:
Changes to Maintenance/Perpetual licenses
- To continue supporting maintenance, beginning May 7, 2017, renewal prices will increase by 5% in 2017, 10% in 2018, and 20% in 2019. Also, you should be aware that maintenance plans can now only be renewed for one year at a time.
- Multi-year maintenance plans will no longer be offered. Customers wishing to remain on maintenance will be able to renew for only one year at a time.
Make the move to Subscription for less
Beginning June 2017, you’ll be able to move your products on a maintenance plan to a subscription for up to 60% less than the cost of a new subscription. This discount will decrease by 5% in 2018 and another 5% in 2019, so the earlier you switch to a subscription, the less it will cost—and the more you’ll save compared to those who wait to move, or choose to stay on maintenance. When you make the switch, you’ll also be able to lock in your discounted price for up to three years and continue to receive discounted pricing for as long as you renew.
