Frequently Asked Questions1. What is the Autodesk Legacy Program?The Autodesk® Legacy Program provides customers who own valid licenses of select retired Autodesk® software the opportunity to purchase discounted, new licences of current Autodesk products. 2. Who is eligible to participate in the Autodesk Legacy Promotion?Commercial customers who own a valid license of select, retired Autodesk software that was not upgraded before their respective, publicly announced retirement dates are eligible for this promotion. The Autodesk Legacy Program is no longer available to education customers. 3. Are AutoCAD LT customers able to participate in the Autodesk Legacy Promotion?Customers owning AutoCAD LT® licences cannot participate in this offer. 4. Which Autodesk products are eligible for the Autodesk Legacy Promotion?Valid licences based on AutoCAD R14 through 2005 licenses, Autodesk Inventor® 3, 4, and 5; Autodesk Inventor® Series 5, 6, 7, 8, 9; Autodesk® 3ds Max®, and Autodesk® VIZ software products may be eligible to participate. This is not a complete list. Please contact an Autodesk Authorised Reseller to find out if the product you are using is eligible. 5. Am I eligible to “upgrade” my retired software?Legacy seats are not upgrades or crossgrades from retired products, but are discounted new seats. Upgrades or crossgrades from retired products are not available for purchase from Autodesk after the retirement of that product. As with upgrades and crossgrades, Legacy Program transactions require a valid serial number from the retired product for each new seat purchased, to flag the “coming from” product as no longer eligible for Legacy transactions. 6. Are both network and standalone deployment available for Legacy purchases?Yes, if you require a network deployment for the new seats, then the network license, rather than the standalone licence, should be purchased. Legacy customers are not grandfathered into the deployment of their retired product. 7. Is Autodesk Subscription required to purchase through the Autodesk Legacy Promotion? Yes, Autodesk Subscription is required on all Legacy purchases. Subscription holders receive benefits including incremental product enhancements, personalised web support and self-paced training options with one annual fee. 8. Are there any other requirements to participate in the Autodesk Legacy Program?No. Other than the purchase of Autodesk Subscription, and providing a valid serial number for the qualifying products in an amount equivalent to the number of new discounted seats a customer wants to purchase under this program, there are no additional requirements. 9.
