Retired Autodesk products and plans


Autodesk occasionally retires or discontinues new sales of certain products and services to invest resources in areas that better meet changing customer needs. A product or service is retired in two phases to ensure you have sufficient time to transition to a new tool.


  • Phase 1: New sales discontinued: You can no longer add seats or get a new subscription. But you can renew an existing subscription and support is available. No new features will be released.
  • Phase 2: Product retired: You can no longer buy or renew the product or service. Support is available until your contract expires. Subscription products can only be used until the subscription ends.

Important:

  • Annual multi-user subscriptions (including Extra Territory Rights) may be renewed until February 7, 2023.
  • 2 for 1 trade-in offer: At your next renewal before February 7, 2024, you can trade in one multi-user subscription for two standard named-user subscriptions for a similar price. See the Transition to named user program FAQ.

The following is a list of discontinued or retired products and services, and alternative software solutions. Please refer to the terms and conditions of your subscription agreement for complete information regarding changes to offerings.
