Renewal FAQ

When can I renew my subscription?

Some subscriptions can be renewed up to 30 or 45 days after expiry depending on eligibility and applicable terms. However, to avoid losing access to your software, it is best to renew your subscription before the renewal/expiry date. Visit Autodesk account.

 

The period after expiry is referred to as the cancellation process and consists of three stages.

 

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. 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: Cancelled

If you do not take action during either the Expired or Suspended stages, your subscription will be moved to Cancelled 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 cancelled due to a non-payment of a line of credit, you may need to use another payment method for subscription purchases and renewals and you may be required to pre-pay for future orders.

How do I know my expiry/renewal date?

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

 

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

 

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