Troubleshooting Download Issues

 

See these articles for troubleshooting tips if you have problems downloading your software:

Select an Account For Your Order

If you have an existing Autodesk Account, we recommend that you use the email address and password for that account when you make your purchase. All correspondence about your order, subscription benefits, and future product releases are sent to the email address associated with your Autodesk Account.

  • To sign in to an existing account: Enter your Autodesk Account email address and password. Click Forgot to reset your password.
  • To create an account: Enter an email address and password during ordering. The billing information you enter is used for your profile. Visit accounts.autodesk.com to edit your profile after placing an order.
  • To create a password: Enter a password with a minimum of 8 characters that contains at least one letter and one number. The password also must contain at least 3 unique characters.

 

About Administrator Accounts

 

The Autodesk Account you enter during purchase of a software subscription becomes the administrator account. Administrators have the option of using the software or assigning access to another user after purchase. See Managing Users & Permissions for more information.

Here's some guidance on which Autodesk Account sign-in information to use during ordering:

  • Purchaser is the user: If you subscribe to Autodesk software and intend to use it yourself, use or create a personal Autodesk Account during purchase.
  • Purchaser is not the user: Use or create an administrator account to purchase and manage all the subscription software for your organization. Your end users can visit accounts.autodesk.com and create personal accounts without buying software. You can then use the end-user email accounts to grant access to download and use the software.

Order Confirmation and Communications

Autodesk delivers access, download, and activation information by email. In most cases, your products are available in your Autodesk Account shortly after purchase. If you don't receive the confirmation or fulfillment email messages within 24 hours after you place your order, check your Spam and Junk folders or contact support for assistance.

Payment and Recurring Billing

Pay for Your Order

Our secure server encrypts your payment information. We accept credit and debit cards, and PayPal.

 

Entering New Payment Information

 

Here are some tips to help avoid errors entering or processing payment information:

  • First and Last Name: Enter your name as it appears on the card you are using.
  • Card Number: Enter the card number without any dashes or spaces.
  • Expiration Date: Select the date and year from the drop-down menus.
  • Security Code: Enter the 3-digit security code on the back of your card

 

Selecting Existing Payment Information

 

Payment methods used for previous orders appear as payment options when you sign into an existing Autodesk Account during checkout. If you're not sure whether the information for an existing payment method is current, re-enter it as a new card. The option to edit or update an existing payment method during checkout is not currently available in the store cart.

Common Payment Errors

Here are some items to check if you encounter payment errors:

  • Card Number and Expiration Date: For security reasons, you cannot view or edit new or existing card information after you enter it. You can try entering the card information again as a new payment method by selecting Add Card. Verify that the card number and expiration date are correct.
  • Name and Billing Address: Verify that the name and billing address match the address on record with your payment provider. You can review and edit these items in the cart.
  • Purchase Limits: Some banks place a limit on how much you can spend on an individual purchase or in a single day. Even if you have funds available, your bank may not authorize the charge. Call your bank and ask them to authorize the charge or get information about their online purchase policies.

Payment Processing

Online payments

We process charges for your order as soon as our systems can complete the order and make your software or services available online. Processing typically takes 1-5 days, as some transfers between banks can take time for processing the payment. Check with your payment provider for information about when charges will post to your account.

Taxes and Fees

9% GST will be charged to all customers.

Automatic Billing for Subscriptions

Your Autodesk software and service subscriptions automatically renew to ensure you have continuous access. You will be charged for a new subscription term on the renewal date listed in your Autodesk Account.

Subscriptions purchased from the Autodesk store renew automatically, however, some subscription term lengths are only available from Resellers or your Autodesk sales representative and do not renew automatically. You will receive renewal notifications 45, 30, and 4 days prior to expiration with renewal instructions.

The payment method you entered during purchase for will be used for subscription renewal. If you prefer to use a different payment method for recurring billing for subscription renewal, you can update your payment settings in your Autodesk Account.

 

About Monthly Renewal

 

If you choose a Monthly subscription, you are charged the renewal rate automatically each month on an ongoing basis until you turn off automatic renewal. If you wish to subscribe for only one month or end your subscription after several months, you must visit your Autodesk Account and turn off the automatic renewal setting before your account renews for the next monthly term.

To update automatic subscription renewal settings:

  1. Sign into your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com.
  2. Locate your software in the list of Products & Services and click the arrow to expand the subscription details.
  3. Click  Edit Payment  in the product details tray and follow the on-screen instructions.

See Updating Payment Information for Your Subscription for information.

Expiration, suspension, and cancellation

How to cancel a subscription

To cancel your subscription, turn off auto-renew so you will not be charged at your renewal date, now your expiration date. You can continue to use your software until its expiration date.

 

If you change your mind, you may still be able to renew up to 45 days past your renewal date turning on auto-renewal.

New cancellation process for subscriptions or Flex tokens purchased or renewed

If you choose to not renew your subscription, or in cases where payment has not been received and processed by Autodesk on the payment due date, a subscription goes through the following stages: Expired > Suspended > Canceled. This process starts on the subscription end date or invoice payment due date, whichever is earlier.

 

What to expect when you go through the expiration process

Stage: Expired

When your subscription moves from Active to Expired for non-renewal or non-payment, action (payment or renewal) is required to prevent the subscription from being suspended.

 

Stage: Suspended

If you do not renew or make a payment in the Expired stage, your subscription will move to Suspended, which lasts for a subsequent 30 days for annual subscriptions or 15 days for monthly subscriptions. Access to your product will be removed, but you can still renew or make payment to reactivate your subscription in the Suspended stage and regain access to your product.

 

Stage: Canceled

If you do not act in either the Expired or Suspended stages, your subscription will be moved to Canceled and the subscription can no longer be renewed or reactivated. You will have to purchase a new subscription for access to the product.

Renewals

Who can renew an organization’s subscription?

To renew your organization’s subscriptions, you must be the purchaser on the subscription. Purchasers are considered the primary account contact and manage billing, renewals, and other self-serve functions in account like switching terms and adding seats. Purchasers are also the primary administrator (admin) account for the subscription unless they reassign the admin role. Purchasers can re-assign the primary admin role to another person in the organization but will retain their purchaser responsibilities. The purchaser role has historically been called the contract manager.

Renewing subscriptions

Most subscriptions purchased through Cleverbridge on behalf of Autodesk will automatically renew on their renewal date unless you turn off auto-renew in your Autodesk account. This option simplifies the process of renewal and ensures no interruption to your access.

 

Prior to your renewal date, make sure auto-renew is set to ON and that your payment method is up to date.

 

You can change your subscriptions auto-renewal status at any time before your renewal date in your Autodesk account and up to 30 or 45 days after your expiration date, before it is canceled, depending on eligibility and applicable terms. However, to avoid losing access to your software, it is best to renew your subscription before the renewal/expiration date.

How to renew a single subscription automatically

To ensure that your auto-renewal is successful on the renewal date, your recurring payment method must be valid and auto-renew turned on.

  1. Sign in to your Autodesk account- Billings and Orders > Subscriptions and Contracts.
  2. In the subscription list select a product to open the subscription details and review the payment method on file.
  3. Under Auto-renew Click Turn On to ensure automatic renewal processes on the renewal date.

You will receive an email confirmation confirming your renewal order is complete. Your credit card will show CB*Autodesk as the vendor.

How to renew multiple subscriptions automatically

You can turn on auto-renewal for up to 100 subscriptions at once with the bulk auto-renewal feature.

  1. Sign in to your Autodesk account - Billings and Orders > Subscriptions and Contracts.
  2. In the subscription list use search or filter to generate a selected list of subscriptions or choose or start from the Bulk Actions menu
  3. From the Bulk Actions menu, select Manage Auto-Renew.
  4. Choose to turn subscription auto-renew on. 
  5. Select the checkbox at the top of the list to turn subscription auto-renew on.
  6. Select Continue and follow the on-screen instructions.

How do I know my expiration/renewal date?

You can find your renewal or expiration date in your Autodesk account.

 

If auto-renew is off, the expiration date is based on the time zone where the subscription was purchased. If auto-renew is on, the renewal date is the day after the expiration date.

 

Example: You purchase an annual subscription 10 June 2024. If auto-renew is turned off, your expiration date and time is 9 June 2025 at 23:59:59 SGT. If auto-renew is turned on, your renewal date is 10 June 2025 at 00:00:00 SGT.

When can I renew my subscription?

Some subscriptions can be renewed up to 30 or 45 days after expiration, depending on eligibility and applicable terms. The 45 days after expiration is referred to as the cancellation process and consists of 3 stages.

 

Stage: Expired

 

If your subscription moves from Active to Expired for non-renewal or non-payment, action (payment or renewal) is required to prevent the subscription from being suspended. The expired stage lasts 15 days.

 

Stage: Suspended

 

If you do not renew or make a payment in the Expired stage, your subscription will move to Suspended, which lasts for a subsequent 30 days for annual and multi-year subscriptions or 15 days for monthly subscriptions. Access to your product will be removed, but you can still renew or make payment to reactivate your subscription in the Suspended stage and regain access to your product.

 

Stage: Canceled

 

If you do not act in either the Expired or Suspended stages, your subscription will be moved to Canceled and the subscription can no longer be renewed or reactivated. You will have to purchase a new subscription for access to the product. If your subscription was canceled due to a non-payment of a line of credit, you may need to use another payment method for subscription purchases and renewals and may be required to pre-pay for future orders.

When will I be charged?

Cleverbridge will charge your payment method when Autodesk completes the order and your software or services are available online. Your credit card will show CB*Autodesk as the vendor.

How do I know that my renewal has been completed?

You should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours after you place your order and your Autodesk account should also show your renewal status. If you don't receive a confirmation email, check your Spam and Junk folders. If you still don’t find a confirmation email, ask Autodesk Assistant for assistance

How do I renew if I bought from an Autodesk sales representative?

What changes can I make to my subscriptions before or at renewal?

You can add seats to your subscription at any time during your subscription. Seat additions are immediate, and the price will be prorated according to your renewal date.  For any other changes, contact your partner or Autodesk sales.
