New Terminology for Subscription

To appropriately reflect these changes, the subscription terminology is now changes as explained below:

1. Maintenance Subscription: Maintenance Subscription now stands for basic subscription that was earlier known as 'subscription'. This provided web based training, support, online knowledge base, expedited community forum support, free upgrades and other benefits as usual.
2. Maintenance Subscription with Advanced Support: In addition to Maintenance Subscription benefits, Advanced Support provides 24X7 priority support that may include 'remote desktop assistance', access to programming interface support, exclusive training and option to escalate questions to Autodesk from community forums.
3. Desktop Subscription: 'Desktop Subscription' is new term for what was earlier known as 'Rental Licenses'. Unlike 'Perpetual Licenses' that users could retain for life, the desktop subscription licenses expire at the end of terms IF not renewed. Desktop subscription can be purchased from SellCAD for quarter, yearly or multi-year terms. In addition to the software license, desktop subscription entitles users the same benefit as offered under 'maintenance subscription'.

Benefits of Desktop Subscription

Increasingly, software licensing is moving towards'subscription' based model. In business, we strongly recommend 'Desktop Subscription' for the following reasons:

1. Flexibility in Scaling: Business situation is dynamic and keeps changing. The desktop subscription allows businesses to scale up or down number of licenses as per need. Businesses can now add licenses when they have more work and reduce them, when they don't.
2. Lower Upfront Costs: Desktop Licensing drastically reduces upfront costs and there is no need to block precious resources.
3. Fixed OPEX Costs compared to CAPEX: Compared to CAPEX in some businesses, the Subscription model is OPEX based. Further, businesses have even costs on an year on year basis rather than spikes when the software is purchased anew.
