Important Changes are Happening to your Autodesk Buying Experience

What Does This Mean for You?

Cadspec will remain your trusted partner for all training, consultancy, service and support needs, the only change is that you will now purchase your Autodesk software directly from Autodesk. The solutions and services you rely on will still be available as normal and the Cadspec team will continue to provide trusted advice on software quotations, license requests, and offer fast, personal technical support whenever you need it.

What you can Expect…

Direct Purchase from Autodesk

From September 16th, 2024, customers will purchase Autodesk software directly from Autodesk. Some specific products and government agencies will be excluded from this change and will continue as normal. Payments will be made directly to Autodesk through credit, debit, PayPal, bank transfer, or via 30-day payment terms if you qualify.

Maintained Partnership

Cadspec will continue to support your business as before. The only difference is that the final purchase order will be placed directly with Autodesk. We’ll still be here for support, training, quote requests, and all other day-to-day aspects.

Quoting and Configuration

Cadspec will advise on the best purchase options based on Autodesk’s pricing. You’ll receive the quotation from Autodesk via email, and the order will be placed directly with Autodesk after approval.

What about my renewal?

Purchasing Before September 16th

You will renew or purchase new licenses as usual until September 16th. If your renewal is between September 16th and 90 days after, renew before the change date to use the current process and prices. For renewals more than 90 days after the switch date, contact your account manager for the best options. We recommend renewing for three years to secure current pricing and minimize disruption.

Purchasing After September 16th

All purchases (excluding exceptions) will be made through the new buying process with Autodesk. Cadspec will continue to provide support on software purchases, support, and services.

Preparing for the change

If you have any specific requirements please contact us for advice and guidance.

To ensure a smooth invoicing process, we recommend setting up Autodesk as a vendor in your procurement systems, the Cadspec team can assist with this process. Detailed information on setting up Autodesk as a vendor can be found HERE.

The Cadspec team will continue to keep you updated in the run-up to, and throughout this change with more information. However if you have any questions or require further assistance, the team are here to help.
