Subscription
Benefit Enhanced for Previous Version Use of
Software |
| Effective April
7, 2008, Autodesk® Subscription customers may use
previous versions up to three releases back from the
2009 product release, up to the total number of
licenses of the product currently under
subscription. Subscription customers who do not have
the previous version of the software installed may
request eligible media through Subscription Center
at
www.autodesk.com/subscriptionlogin.
This benefit is in addition to the
existing entitlement that allows a subscription
customer who legally licensed a previous version
older than three releases back to continue to use
the previous version, provided they do not exceed
the maximum number of licenses that were originally
obtained for that release. |
