Previous Version Rights Extended

Autodesk previous version rights to be extended to five versions back

As part of Autodesk’s subscription benefits, subscribers are afforded access to use of previous versions of subscribed products. From November 2nd, 2020, previous version rights will be extended from three versions to five. 

Many Autodesk subscribers have requested this change to enable additional subscribers’ access to older versions to continue to work on ongoing projects or access older project data. 

This change applies to all subscribers, however please check your specific product eligibility on the Autodesk Knowledge Network: Eligible Previous Versions.
