Be Aware that Your Autodesk Cloud Credits Changed

Autodesk Subscription and Rental Plan customers receive 100 cloud credits per seat of software that they have on Subscription contract.  These free credits make it easy for you to try out the services on Autodesk's 360 Cloud Service.  Up until December 13, 2013, companies where able to pool these credits and share them with other users with a license on the contract. As of December 13, the policy changed. First, any unused cloud credits will expire on the anniversary date of the customer's Subscription contract (ie. your renewal date).  Secondly, each user on an existing contract will automatically receive 100 individual cloud credits that cannot be shared, pooled or transferred. The idea around this is to get more users to try Autodesk 360 Cloud services instead of one or two power users using up all the firms credits themselves.

Did you know you can now rent Autodesk software?

Rental plans allow you to license Autodesk software for a specified period of time to meet a variety of project, budget and business considerations. Rental licenses give you short-term access to Autodesk software, with the option to renew as required. Rental licenses offer benefits similar to a perpetual license with Autodesk Subscription, including basic support and, for most products, access to select Autodesk 360 cloud services. Other benefits include:

• Flexibility: pay as you go for access to software only when you need it.
• Scalability: manage costs without a large up-front investment or long-term commitment.  Quickly scale up and down to manage a variety of temporary project and staffing needs.
• Access to the latest tools-stay current with the latest releases and product enhancements.
• Various rental plans available: monthly, quarterly or annually.
