Autodesk Support Offerings and Price Changes

For the latest updates on the type of support you can get from Autodesk visit www.autodesk.com/support and specifically http://usa.autodesk.com/support-offerings/. The new terms are Effective May 7, 2012.

Speaking of Autodesk there are also price changes: Upgrade now to help protect your software investment, and help maximize your return with the many benefits offered through Autodesk® Subscription and Autodesk® 360 cloud-based services. Autodesk currently anticipates changes to its upgrade options next year, so take advantage of existing upgrade pricing and paths today to move to the current release—and you could additionally save up to 20%* off SRP when you act before July 13, 2012. If you have Autodesk 2007 products or older they cannot next year be upgraded but you need to purchase a complete new license at full price.
