You originally purchased ten licenses of an AutoCAD 2014 subscription. See applicable Autodesk Terms and Conditions for additional details. Additionally, you can continue access if you remain active on a subscription or on a maintenance plan. You may continue to use previous versions of software previously licensed, installed and accessed, which are not listed on the previous version list, provided they were previously licensed, installed and accessed as part of your subscription or maintenance plan-and you do not exceed the number of licenses previously licensed by you or the number of your current licenses of that product covered by your active contract (whichever is lower). What if I previously licensed a product-how many copies can I use? When you stop the maintenance you lose the benefits of that license listed on this website -> Įdit - I found this on another forum ->. So if you have 2020 then you can use 2019-2017. So that will be current release and 3 years back from then. The maintenance plan will give you a new release and also take one away. Technical consultant & Civil 3D support SpecialistĪs long as we maintain our maintenance plan on the perpetual licenses, I assume this means we can use the latest version and any older versions we still have installed as long as our maintenance plan is still live? I do have some recollection of achieving this a while back but I would suggest that you contact your reseller about this matter. According to our team manager, this is not possible. I am however not sure if you can request special permission from Autodesk to use licenses on products that are outside of the 3 years license use. This is obviously not the case for subscription-based models where you will be restricted to those terms (3 years).

However, you will not be able to use the latest software. Once a perpetual license (maintenance plan) has expired you are able to continue using it as you own that software. I assume the subscription licenses will be restricted to the set previous versions.

This is for all of them.ĭo the perpetual licenses expire or can we continue to use the perpetual licenses for as long as we need.

Will any of the c3d 2016 licenses still work? - Once it has been upgraded to the 2020 version then it will no longer be available by default. In the coming years what happens when say we get to c3d 2020 does that mean we can only get c3d 2019 - c3d 2017 on the previous versions? - Yes that is correct.
