Starting in 2010, Autodesk will make software download the default method of delivering software upgrades to Autodesk® Subscription customers in the United States. Autodesk Subscription Software Coordinators will be notified by email that their software upgrade is available to download. They will not automatically receive a box.
How does this change affect me?
As an Autodesk® Subscription Software Coordinator you will be
notified by email that your software upgrade is available for download,
at which time you can also notify your end users if you so desire.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE A BOXED
SHIPMENT WITH A CD/DVD WHEN YOUR UPGRADE RELEASES.
If you prefer a CD/DVD, you may set your
delivery preference to “box” by signing in to
Create a Subscription Account
If you do not have a Subscription user ID and password or you
are uncertain if your product is associated with a Subscription
contract, you can
create an account in a few simple steps.
Why is this change being made?
By making new product releases available for download as soon
as they are released, Autodesk is making it possible for Subscription
customers to immediately begin using the most current version of the
software they need to do their jobs. And, making software download
the default upgrade delivery method reduces the environmental impact of
producing and shipping materials worldwide.
What if I prefer to receive my software in a boxed shipment?
Login to the Autodesk Subscription Center and change your
delivery preference in your Subscription Center profile from “download”
to “box.” To ensure all software releases will be delivered
according to your preference, Software Coordinators should change the
delivery preference on or before March 12, 2010.
Can I get both a boxed shipment and download the software?
Yes. Software Coordinators who want a boxed shipment along with a
download can change the delivery preference in their Subscription Center
profile to “box” on or before March 12, 2010. This will ensure that a
boxed shipment is automatically sent as soon as the upgrade is
available. Software Coordinators who also want to download the product
can go to the Download section in Subscription Center and download
upgrades for any licenses your company has on Subscription.
Is there an additional cost if my customer chooses a boxed
shipment?
No, there is no additional cost to receive a boxed shipment.
Can Hagerman & Company change your delivery preference for
you?
No. We are not able to set or change your delivery preference.
How will you be notified your upgrade is available?
You will be guided through the download process once you
receive your upgrade notification email on the First Customer Ship (FCS)
date.
Can Contract Managers or Software Coordinators give end users
direct access to downloads?
Yes, Contract Managers and Software Coordinators can grant their end
users access to software downloads. Access can be granted the same way
other permissions are granted through Subscription Center.
Can Hagerman & Company access your Subscription Serial
Number and Product Key should you need assistance?
Yes, our ability to assist you in your software purchase has not
changed.
What if your Internet access is restricted?
If your company has set limits for access to the Internet, and cannot
download the software, Software Coordinators can do any one of the
following:
Software Coordinators can also request help at www.autodesk.com/subscriptionhelp .
Can you download multiple files?
Yes, Autodesk Subscription customers can download multiple files
concurrently.
Can you download the same file multiple times?
Autodesk Subscription customers can download the software upgrade as
many times as needed; however, standard software license usage rights
apply.
What about new software purchases?
A boxed shipment is still sent for all new orders. New licenses added to
existing Autodesk Subscription orders will be available for download
from Subscription Center.
