Three major upgrades in Autodesk licensing models post-2017
Software collections:
Autodesk no longer provides individual software modules. Instead, one has to opt for a collection of multiple applications based on their business needs. Currently, Autodesk offers the following collections:
Name of the collection
Apps you get under this collection
1. Product, Design & and Manufacturing Collection (PDMC)
Inventor, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, 3ds Max and more
2. Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection (AECC)
3. Media & Entertainment Collection (MEC)
Maya, 3ds Max, ReCap Pro, Arnold and more
Note that a single software application can feature in multiple collections. For example, you will get 3ds Max with both PDMC and MEC.
Change in license types:
After 2017, Autodesk gradually phased out floating and perpetual licenses.
To use Autodesk products today, organizations must choose between the following options:
Single-User Subscriptions – Cloud-based named-user licenses assigned to individual users.
Token-Flex (Flex Licensing) – A pay-per-use model that allows occasional users to access licenses using tokens.
Introduction of subscription plans:
Autodesk also introduced subscription plans that define reporting and management capabilities for organizations.
These plans are categorized as:
Standard Plan – Basic usage and admin controls.
Premium Plan – Enhanced administrative and reporting capabilities.
Enterprise Plan – Advanced analytics, automation, and large-scale deployment support.
Now enjoy premium Autodesk benefits with just a standard annual subscription
