For details about the announcement, see " Autodesk Announces Subscription-Only Access for Standalone Desktop Software" on the Cadalyst web site and two online FAQs from Autodesk, Perpetual Licensing Changes and Autodesk Standalone Perpetual License Discontinuation Public FAQ (PDF). It's important to note that this change will affect only those customers who already own perpetual licenses of standalone desktop software it does not affect customers using Autodesk product suites or those already on a desktop subscription plan or using cloud services. And, of course, it goes without saying that CAD managers must be involved in planning for this new software landscape. While the policy shift has been rumored for awhile, it's now official, and companies that are not already on and Autodesk subscription plan or cloud service will need to evaluate how they want to manage their software moving forward.
Last week, Autodesk shook things up by announcing that it is moving toward a subscription-only business model and will no longer sell perpetual software licenses for standalone desktop software products. The time to plan for the transition is now!
