About Term Licenses

Explains key management details for term licenses and named users.

Each Autodesk term license contract identifies a term expiry date and a number of allowed users. Users log in to the Autodesk My Accounts portal to download products associated with a specific contract. If you are the administrator for a term license, you access the portal to provide a list of named users and send invitations to the users to download and install products. To prevent license errors, this list must be updated with any changes to the group of eligible users.

If the term license expires, you can purchase a new contract for the same product. When one of the named users for the new contract launches the product, they will follow a procedure to change the serial number for the product, which re-activates the license and associates it with the new contract. This process of changing the serial number is required separately for each product covered by the contract.
