Subscription Information

Can I purchase a Subscription for my product?

Yes! We are now offering one-year, renewable Autodesk Subscriptions on our Online Store for almost all of our products at time of purchase. The Autodesk Online Store does not yet sell subscription contracts by themselves for the Autodesk products you already own. However, if the Subscription Program is available for your product, and you chose not to buy a subscription from out Online Store when you made your purchase, you can still "attach" a subscription within thirty days by contacting your local Autodesk Authorized Reseller. Your Autodesk Authorized Reseller can also provide you with information about available training services. Note that your confirmation email serves as your proof of purchase.

To return your product, see the Returns and Cancellations section.

How will I get set up on Autodesk Subscription?

When you order your subscription with a software product purchase on the Autodesk Store, we set you up as Contract Manager for your subscription contract with Autodesk. You will receive a ‘welcome’ email from Autodesk Subscription Program following your Store purchase with your Subscription Center user ID and a temporary password.

To learn how to create an account, retrieve your user ID or reset your password, and access your Subscription benefits, follow the detailed instructions in our Signing In To Subscription Center tutorial.

What do I do if I don’t get my welcome email?

We recommend you first look in your spam, bulk, or junk folder within your email application for a message from Autodesk. If you are not familiar with these folders or how email filtering works, review the guidance below.

Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

Some email providers filter messages based on content, subject line, or the sender's address and may put the email into the a spam, bulk, or junk mail folder. Please make sure @autodesk.com is on your "approved sender" list or "whitelist" and/or in your "address book." We often do not even receive notice of such filters, so please be sure you inform your ISP that you want to receive our email.

Spam Blockers/Filters and Email Software

If you have recently installed a new email software or a new program to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive, make sure you check the settings. The "defaults" are often much more restrictive than you might wish. Below is some guidance to get you started.
