2. Does the Autodesk Get Current Promotion replace traditional retirement programs?

As customers continue to migrate to Autodesk® Subscription as their preferred method of keeping current with Autodesk products, programs have changed to reflect customer purchasing trends. The Autodesk Get Current Promotion represents the evolution of Autodesk’s traditional retirement program, and provides customers with a valuable offer to move to current Autodesk products, or migrate to the appropriate industry solutions or suites.

 

3. Are upgrades from 2011 versions included in the Get Current Promotion?

The focus of the Get Current Promotion is to help customers upgrade their software to the latest 2011 versions. Advertised discounts do not apply to upgrades from 2011 products, (Note: upgrades from 2011 products were formerly known as cross-grades) Autodesk has taken care so that customers upgrading from 2011 versions are not charged higher prices than those taking advantage of the Get Current Promotion. As a result, a number of cross-grades from 2011 versions have been discounted at a variable percentage to match upgrades from prior versions. Where an upgrade from a 2011 product was already less than the Get Current pricing, no discount was applied.
