If you have older Autodesk Products, which are 6 versions old or more they will no longer be eligible for discounted upgrades after Feb 1, 2013.
This means in order to get the latest software release, you will need to purchase a new licence.
The new pricing model will provide upgrade paths for customers on 1-6 prior versions of Autodesk products, allowing for a 30% discount on these upgrade paths.
Customers with Software 7+ releases back will no longer be eligible for upgrade pricing.
If you have any queries in relation to the new pricing structure or Upgrade policy, please feel free to contact us.
