Learn the differences between Autodesk product updates, hot fixes, and security fixes, and how to find them.
- Update: An update is not a full installation of Autodesk software. Instead, it makes targeted changes to specific areas of an existing installation. An update can include new functionality, defect fixes, or both. Updates are available to subscribers and maintenance plan customers.
- Hot fix: A hot fix includes critical defect fixes. Many hot fixes are available to all customers, regardless of subscription status. Some hot fixes are available only to subscription customers to address subscription-only features.
- Security fix: A security fix includes critical fixes that are purely security-related. Security fixes are available to all users, regardless of subscription status.
For a list of the changes in a particular update, hot fix, or security fix, see its release notes.
