“The consolidation into just three collections … benefits both Autodesk and the customer,” said White. Autodesk states: “To complement collections and address more specialized needs, customers can subscribe to individual products or cloud services, such as simulation or data management tools.”Īutodesk believes that the streamlined set of offerings, in tandem with the transition from perpetual licenses to subscriptions, will provide improved simplicity, value, and flexibility to users.

Subscriptions to individual software titles are still available. In contrast, there are no tiers within the new Collections the only variable is the subscription length.

“It actually became more confusing for our customers,” White continued. As it turned out, the tiered structure of access to applications within the Suites, which were offered in Standard, Premium, and Ultimate levels, created uncertainty about which applications were included in which package. “When we introduced Suites … we really simplified the process, or so we thought,” said Carl White, senior director of business models at Autodesk. (New perpetual licenses for standalone products were discontinued on February 1 of this year.) These new subscription packages take the place of Autodesk’s Design and Creation Suites, which are no longer offered as of August 1. Products and services include Maya, 3ds Max, and six others.

The collection comprises 22 products and services, including Revit, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, InfraWorks 360, and - like the other two collections - 25 GB of cloud storage.
