Autodesk FY21 Q4 Trade in Perpetual License Offer

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Now is a great time for customers to upgrade their perpetual license to receive the benefits of a subscription. In addition to more value and flexibility than perpetual licenses, customers can save up to 20%** when trading in qualifying perpetual licenses that are not on a maintenance plan for a single-user subscription to the latest Autodesk industry collections or to qualifying individual products— such as AutoCAD® including specialized toolsets, AutoCAD LT®, Civil 3D®, Revit®, Inventor®, 3ds Max® and more.

A valid, eligible serial number and corresponding perpetual license must be submitted for this offer. Eligible serial numbers and associated seats must be perpetual licenses release year 1998-2021 not on active maintenance plan.

3. How does the order process work?

  1. Submission of the perpetual license serial number must occur prior to the subscription purchase. The end customer, or the Autodesk Partner or Sales representative on behalf of the customer, completes the submission by going to http://autodesk.tradeinperpetual.com/
  2. At this site, information for the required fields, including but not limited to customer name, submission serial number, and email address, must be provided.
  3. After the submission, the perpetual license serial number and all corresponding seats will subsequently be flagged in the Autodesk trade-in site and system as no longer valid or eligible to be submitted for other offers.
  4. If a customer decides not to make a subscription purchase or cancels the purchase within the right of return period in the applicable Terms of Use, the submission may be retracted by emailing Autodesk_CS@pmci.com.
  5. Autodesk will monitor all serial number submissions and orders placed. In the event of a discrepancy between a submission and order, the submitter will be contacted for assistance in resolution.
  6. Subject to item 7, the customer agrees that Autodesk will suspend the license corresponding with the submitted serial number(s) and the customer agrees to no longer use such licenses.
  7. If the customer returns the subscription within the right of return period in the applicable Terms of Use, the customer will be eligible to switch back to the perpetual license. The return shall be in full and final settlement of all claims.

4. What is the promotional period?

This offer is available from November 7, 2020 until January 22, 2021 (dates inclusive).

5. What countries are eligible to participate?

This offer is available in the United States, Canada and Latin America. Eligible countries are subject to change at any time without notice, for any reason in Autodesk’s sole discretion.

6. What term lengths can customers purchase under the Trade in Perpetual License Offer?

Customers are eligible to submit their perpetual licenses and receive a discount on either a 1- OR a 3-year term subscription.

7. Does the deployment of the Trade in need to match the new Subscription?

No. The deployment of the submitted license does not need to be the same as the deployment of the subscription purchased. The submitted license may be a network/multi-user or standalone/single user.

8. Is the discount available for subscription renewals?

No. The offer is for new subscriptions with a perpetual license (not on maintenance) that is submitted as outlined in this FAQ.

9. Can this offer be combined with any other offers?

No. The offer may not be combined with any other offer, discounts, promotions, or other incentives offered by Autodesk unless specified.

10. Can a customer apply an Extra Territory Rights (ETR) uplift to a subscription they purchased with this offer?

No. Subscriptions purchased through this offer cannot have ETR attached.

11. Will Autodesk offer the full discount % if the customer is adding to an existing subscription?

Yes, this promotion offers the full discount percentage*** when the customer is co-terming to match an existing subscription, provided the term length is the same (1- or 3-year term to an existing 1-year or 3-year term).

12. Are customers required to submit their existing perpetual serial number(s)?

Yes. To receive the discount under this offer, customers or partners must submit the eligible perpetual license serial number(s) and no longer use any seats associated to that serial number(s). Once the submission and purchase is completed the serial number(s) cannot be traded in or used to achieve a promotion discount a second time.

13. Can customers continue to use the perpetual license after they purchase the discounted 1- or 3-year subscription?

No. As part of the terms and conditions of this offer, the customer agrees to submit the eligible perpetual license and within 120 days no longer use any seats associated with that serial number(s). Note that customers who cancel or return their purchase should email Autodesk_CS@pmci.com as noted in question 3.4 above.

14. How do customers know if a perpetual license serial number is valid?

A license as identified by the serial number is valid if it is a 1998 –2021 eligible perpetual product license not on maintenance and has not been submitted for a previous promotion or offer. Additionally, it could not have been used for a perpetual license upgrade or part of a maintenance plan and fulfilled to a newer perpetual license. Licenses must be commercial versions with asset status ‘Registered’. The submission site should be used as a primary source to validate serial numbers.

Note: Customers may request a License Report, which is delivered by Autodesk directly to the customer, and will show a customer’s assets, including those that are eligible for this offer.

15. How many discounted subscriptions may be purchased per serial number?

Customers are eligible to purchase one new 1- or 3- year subscription for each seat associated with the eligible serial number(s) submitted up to a maximum of 50 seats.

16. Is there a limit as to how many seats can be submitted per customer?

Yes. Customers are eligible to submit a maximum of 50 seats under the terms and conditions of this offer. For example: customers may submit 50 serial numbers, with one seat each OR 1 serial number with 50 seats OR any other variation not to exceed a maximum of 50 seats.

17. What if customers have multi-packs or multiple seats for one serial number?

If a customer wants to purchase fewer subscriptions than licenses associated with the serial number (For example a customer has an AutoCAD LT® 2015 5-pack and they want to submit 3 licenses and keep 2 perpetual licenses), the customer should contact an Autodesk Reseller or Autodesk Client Services to split the license into two serial numbers with the appropriate quantities.

18. How does the Q4 Trade in Perpetual License Offer differ from the Maintenance Trade in offer?

The Q4 Trade In Perpetual License Offer is a limited-time opportunity for customers who have perpetual licenses without active4maintenance plans to trade in and save up to 20%** on qualifying 3-year subscriptions and 15%** on 1-year subscriptions of eligible Autodesk products.

The Maintenance Trade in offer is an opportunity for customers whose maintenance plans are up for renewal to switch to subscription and secure special pricing going forward. More information on the Maintenance Trade in offer is available at www.autodesk.com/campaigns/transition-to-named-user.

19. Is the offer available on the Autodesk Store?

Yes, at select Autodesk stores. Please refer to www.autodesk.com to confirm specific details for your location.
