Maintenance Plan

Stay current and protect your investment

A maintenance plan, formerly called maintenance subscription, is the only way to keep your perpetual licence software current.

 

As of 1 August 2016, Autodesk software is available via subscription only and new perpetual licences and maintenance plans are no longer available for purchase.

For our customers on a maintenance plan as of 1 August 2016, you will continue to receive the following maintenance plan benefits for as long as you renew - 

 

Access to the latest software

• Instant access to the latest software and enhancements

• Stay current on the latest software and learning materials rather than waiting for major releases

WHEN IT IS TIME TO RENEW YOUR MAINTENANCE, YOU HAVE GOT OPTIONS

Take advantage of a special offer to switch to subscription.

At time of renewal, you can choose to move to subscription for the same cost as your maintenance plan renewal - or switch to an industry collection at a special price. As long as you continue to renew, you will enjoy special pricing, which will be lower than maintenance plan renewal pricing and far below the cost of purchasing a new subscription.
