Capitalized terms not otherwise defined below will have the meaning assigned to them in the General Terms. Autodesk retains the sole right to determine Your eligibility for any of the subscription types described below. The subscription types may be updated from time to time. Notice of updates will be posted on the “Effective Date/Updated" link at the top of this page.
For any offering type described as “single-user,” “individual” or “named user,” the Authorized User must (i) be identified by a unique user identification (“Autodesk ID”) and (ii) be an individual. The Authorized User must log in using his or her Autodesk ID to install and/or access each Offering, and no one else may access and/or use such Offerings using the same Autodesk ID.
If Your subscription is described as “single-user,” “individual” or “named user,” then You may only assign such subscription to one (1) of Your Authorized Users. Your Authorized User may install Software on up to three (3) Electronic Devices; however, Your Authorized User may only use the Software on one (1) Electronic Device at a time.
Likewise, for a Collection, Your Authorized User may install the Software titles in a Collection collectively on up to three (3) Electronic Devices. Your Authorized User may simultaneously use any Software titles in the Collection, provided that any such use is only on one (1) Electronic Device at a time.
You may administratively reassign Your single-user subscription from one individual Authorized User to another individual Authorized User if You follow and complete Autodesk’s policy and process for reassignment. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that each individual Authorized User has a unique Autodesk ID, and that the single-user subscription is assigned to the Autodesk ID for the individual Authorized User who is actually accessing and using the subscription.
If Your Offering is described as "Education single-user," then the terms applicable to Your Education Offering can be found under the Education subscription type below.
Capitalized terms used in this section are defined either in the General Terms of these Terms of Use or in the Definitions section below, if specific to the Flex Offering. Flex is a Token-based model that gives You greater flexibility in purchasing and accessing eligible Autodesk product Offerings. Each Flex Eligible Autodesk product Offering has an associated Token consumption rate, as specified in the Flex Eligible Product Offering Rate Sheet, (which may be 0 in some cases). For Flex, Autodesk (I) collects and meters usage data as the Authorized Users, assigned by You, consume Tokens by accessing and using eligible Autodesk product Offerings, (ii) provides You with usage reporting regarding Token consumption, and (iii) decrements Tokens from the Tokens You have available based on the specific product Offerings used by Your Authorized Users and the applicable Token consumption rate for each such product Offering.
“Authorized User” has the same meaning provided in Definitions section of the General Terms of these Terms of Use.
“Token Rate” means the rate at which a given Flex Eligible Product Offering consumes Tokens when accessed by an Authorized User. The Token Rate for each of the Flex Eligible Product Offerings is shown on Flex Eligible Product Offering Rate Sheet.
“Day” means a contiguous twenty-four (24) hour period measured from the point in time when an Authorized User launches a Flex Eligible Product Offering.
“Flex Eligible Product Offering Rate Sheet” or simply “Rate Sheet” means the current Autodesk document listing Flex Eligible Product Offerings, and the applicable number of Tokens consumed per product offering, per Authorized User, per Day or per such other metric specified in the Rate Sheet, when accessed by an Authorized User. The Rate Sheet can be found here: www.autodesk.com/flexratesheet.
“Flex Eligible Product Offerings” means those Autodesk Software and/or Web Services product Offerings shown on the Flex Eligible Product Offering Rate Sheet.
“Flex Offering Materials” means a compilation of business information regarding the Flex Offering model which may include but is not limited to purchasing or other offering operational rules, requirements, policies or other limitations or conditions, Administrator and Authorized User best practices, and other general information regarding the Flex Offering. Flex Offering Materials can be found here:

“Token” means the individual unit of measurement that may be applied toward access to and use of Flex Eligible Product Offerings in accordance with the Token consumption rates shown on the Flex Eligible Product Offering Rate Sheet. A Flex Token is exclusive to Flex and cannot be used in place of tokens, credits or other similar proxies associated with other offering models. Conversely, non-Flex tokens, credits or other similar proxies associated with other offering models cannot be used for Flex.
“Token Pack” means a specified quantity of Tokens purchased as a unit. You may purchase additional Token Packs at any time, including multiple Token Packs as part of a single purchase or single Token Packs at different points in time. Individual Tokens and partial Token Packs are not available.
Unlimited Authorized Users. You may assign an unlimited number of Authorized Users, subject to each such Authorized User being registered, set up in Autodesk Account, and administratively assigned to a Team with access to Token Packs, to access and use Flex Eligible Product Offerings and related Benefits, as provided in these terms.
Accessing Flex Eligible Product Offerings. Each Flex Eligible Product Offering has a Token Rate as specified on the Flex Eligible Product Offering Rate Sheet. Your Authorized Users will be permitted to access and use Flex Eligible Product Offerings. Such access and use will consume Tokens on a per Authorized User, per Flex Eligible Product Offering basis, at the applicable Token Rates shown in the Rate Sheet. Note that when an Authorized User launches a Flex Eligible Product Offering, Tokens will be consumed at the applicable Token Rate until the Authorized User exits that Flex Eligible Product Offering.
New Flex Eligible Product Offerings. From time-to-time Autodesk may add new Flex Eligible Product Offerings to the Flex Eligible Product Offering Rate Sheet. Autodesk will provide You with reasonable notice of such additions and the applicable Token Rate, generally by publishing an updated Rate Sheet.
Other Changes to the Eligible Offerings, Offering Materials, Token Rates and Rate Sheet. Autodesk shall have the right, at any time, to modify or eliminate, in whole or in part, any Eligible Product Offering, contents of the Flex Offering Materials or the Token Rates contained in the Rate Sheet. Such deletions, modifications and other changes shall take effect immediately upon publication of a new Rate Sheet or update to Flex Offering Materials, or on such later date as the updated materials or Rate Sheet specifies.
Data Collection and Use for Flex Eligible Product Offerings. Autodesk will monitor use of Flex Eligible Product Offerings by collecting Authorized User Flex Eligible Product Offering usage data, if available, on an ongoing basis. You or Your Administrator, as applicable, will have access to reporting related to such usage data and the associated Token consumption as described below in the Flex Usage Reporting and Other Subscription Benefits section. Autodesk will process this data for the purpose of generating the applicable usage reports, maintaining and/or delivering the Flex Offering and related Benefits and assisting You or Your reseller with sizing and quoting additional Token purchases. Collectively, the foregoing is referred to as the “Data Collection and Use Purposes”. For the avoidance of doubt, these terms do not affect Autodesk‘s right to use personal data received from or on behalf of You that Autodesk processes as a Controller for the purposes described in the Autodesk Privacy Statement, located here: https://www.autodesk.com/company/legal-notices-trademarks/privacy-statement
In general, the Subscription Benefits available to Your Flex Authorized Users will depend on whether those Authorized Users also are administratively assigned to other types of Subscriptions, and, if so, the applicable Subscription plan tier of those other Subscriptions.
If an Authorized User designated for Flex is not also assigned to any other Subscription Type or is additionally assigned to one or more standard single-user subscriptions, the Subscription Benefits available for that Flex Authorized User will be the same as the benefits available to that Authorized User for standard single-user subscriptions, except for reporting, which (for Flex only) will be as described below in the section titled Flex Reporting.
If an Authorized User assigned to Flex is also assigned to one or more Premium Subscriptions, then the Flex Subscription Benefits for that Authorized User will be the same benefits available to that Authorized User for the Premium Subscriptions.
You may review the Subscription Benefits available for standard single-user subscription and for Premium Subscription, here:
https://www.autodesk.com/company/terms-of-use/en/subscription-benefits
Exceptions to the Subscription Benefits availability information above, if any, will be included in the Flex Offering Materials.
Flex Usage Reporting. You will also have access to additional reporting information related specifically to Flex Token usage which will include Token balance, and Token consumption by Authorized User, by Flex Eligible Product Offering, by Day or by such other metric as specified in the Rate Sheet.
Important Flex Usage Reporting Requirements. Your use of Flex usage reporting is conditioned on and You hereby consent to all of the following:

For information on the order of consumption of Tokens in different Token Packs by Authorized Users assigned access to more than one Token Pack, please see the Flex Offering Materials. No credit, refund or other accommodation will be provided by Autodesk in connection with Token expiration.
Running Out of Tokens; Non-payment. When the Tokens Packs assigned to Authorized Users have been completely consumed and no Tokens remain, those Authorized Users will be ineligible and unauthorized to access and use any Flex Eligible Product Offerings or their associated benefits, including those products that consume zero Tokens. When the Token Packs assigned to Authorized Users have Tokens remaining, but in an amount insufficient to satisfy the required Token Rate applicable to some of the Flex Eligible Product Offerings, such Authorized Users will be ineligible and unauthorized to access and use any Flex Eligible Product Offerings for which there are insufficient Tokens remaining, but they will remain eligible and authorized to access and use Flex Eligible Offerings for which sufficient Tokens remain, as well as Flex Eligible Offerings which have a zero Token Rate. Autodesk reserves the right, without further notice, to shut-off access to and use of Flex Eligible Products by Your Authorized Users in cases where You have a zero Token balance, insufficient Tokens or nonpayment of invoices when due. In the case where You have unpaid invoices, Autodesk may further restrict Your ability to purchase additional Token Packs.
Miscellaneous Operational and Administrative Requirements. To enable Authorized User access to Token Packs and permit use of Flex Eligible Product Offerings and the associated benefits, You or Your administrators must follow the user administration instructions, which include, among other things, the requirement to have users set up accounts if they have not done so previously, set up teams in user management and assign Authorized Users and Token Packs to those teams.
Non-Transferable. You may not transfer, sell, sub-license, or otherwise convey Your Tokens to another party.
