1. Once purchased, how is subscription delivered?
The contract manager will receive an email invitation with a user ID and temporary password to set up the Subscription Center account. If you cannot locate this email, you can easily request another invitation by visiting Subscription Help.
2. How do I get started?
Your contract manager will receive an email from Autodesk or the reseller with a personal access URL inviting you to set up your customer Subscription Center account, or you can go directly to the log-in page.
3. Who within my organization can have access to the subscription benefits?
With Autodesk Subscription, you can set up different user types to manage the various aspects of the subscription contract. You or someone in your organization can assign roles to determine access to features and benefits.
There are three role assignments with varying levels of access to subscription services:
• The Contract Manager (CM) receives renewal notices, and has full contract-related privileges within the Subscription Center. The CM also names users to access the Subscription Center. The CM can assume all three program roles.
• The Software Coordinator (SC) is named by the contract manager to receive email notifications to order or download applicable new releases or extensions. SCs also name users to access the Subscription Center. An SC typically has product responsibilities but also has specific contract-related privileges within the Subscription Center.
• The User is designated by a contract manager or software coordinator to access the members-only Subscription Center, including downloads, training and support (if applicable). This person may also be granted download privileges for extensions and upgrades.
4. How will I know when new downloads and training materials are released?
As long as you keep your contact information up-to-date, you will receive all emails regarding upgrades and notices about new Subscription benefits and services. Contract Managers and/or Software Coordinators will receive notifications and can forward them to their users.
Users can also click on the News link on the Subscription Center home page for a list of feature releases, or check for alerts in the Info Center from within their software.
5. What if I have multiple subscription contracts?
If you have multiple contracts, you can request that they be consolidated. Click the Subscription Help link in the Subscription Center to send an email request to the Autodesk Business Center. If your contracts have different end dates, please contact your Authorized Reseller for pricing information.
6. What are the management tools?
The contract administration tools provide reports and tools for managing your licenses and users.
7. What reports are available to help manage subscription?
Coverage and renewal reports are available to contract managers or software coordinators to track license information, check renewal dates, and view product history. If you have more than one subscription contract or reseller, you will have a separate renewal report for each contract or reseller.
8. How do I manage my team’s use of the features?
Contract managers name others in their company to serve as software coordinators. Software coordinators assist in the administration of the contract(s) and are the primary contact for product fulfillments and other product-specific tasks. Contract managers and software coordinators can designate users to have their own Subscription Center accounts. For each contract, you can use the Access Settings to determine if you want your users to access support, training, or downloads, with a limit of three users per license.
9. How do I update my contact information?
To make sure you always have access to your subscription benefits, it is important to keep your contact information up-to-date. You can make changes to your contact information by clicking on the Contact Information link within Subscription Center or by contacting your reseller.
