      * Productivity data based on a series of studies commissioned by Autodesk to an outside consultant. The seven toolset studies compared basic AutoCAD to the specialised toolsets within AutoCAD when performing tasks commonly done by experienced AutoCAD users. Overall productivity gain calculation based on adding the completion times of specific tasks in the toolset and also in basic AutoCAD and then calculating the per cent difference between the two totals across seven studies. As with all performance tests, results may vary based on the machine, operating system, filters and even source material. While every effort has been made to make the tests as fair and objective as possible, your results may differ. Product information and specifications are subject to change without notice. Autodesk provides this information “as is” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

      • Where can I get an AutoCAD perpetual licence?

        AutoCAD software is available with a subscription only. We no longer sell perpetual licences. Learn more about our software licensing programme (US site).

      • Which versions of AutoCAD can I use if I subscribe to the current version?

        Your AutoCAD subscription gives you access to install and use the 3 previous versions. Available downloads are listed in your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com after subscribing. See also previous releases available for subscribers.

      • Can I install AutoCAD on multiple computers?

        With a subscription to AutoCAD software, you can install it on up to 3 computers or other devices. However, only the named user can sign in and use that software on a single computer at any given time. Please refer to the Software Licence Agreement (US site) for more information.

      • How do I stop auto-renewal or cancel my subscription?

        Sign in to manage.autodesk.com, select Billing & Orders, click Edit Payment and turn off auto-renew. Your subscription details will then list an expiry date instead of a renewal date. Your subscription remains active until the expiry date.

      • Can I use AutoCAD on Mac and Windows with a stand-alone licence?

        Yes, you can use AutoCAD on both Mac and Windows if you are on an AutoCAD subscription. You can use the same subscription username and password to activate your software on either Windows or Mac platforms. The version years must match and you'll need to download and install the correct software for your operating system. (If you download a free trial of AutoCAD and want to try it on both platforms, you need to sign up for 2 trials, one for Windows and one for Mac. You can choose to download and try each version simultaneously or one after the other. Note that the AutoCAD mobile app isn't a part of the trial, but is included in the subscription).

        When you subscribe to AutoCAD, you gain full access to the new AutoCAD web and mobile apps. These apps provide fast, seamless access to DWG™ files wherever you are, from virtually any device. And you can draught draft, edit, measure and annotate with the core tools and technology of AutoCAD.

      • Can I have several users on one AutoCAD subscription?

        Subscriptions sold online are single-user access—a single user can access, activate and use each subscription seat. Users cannot share a seat, but you can purchase additional stand-alone licences and then assign those seats to different users.
