Transition to Named User
Autodesk prepared to move eligible customers from serial-number-based access to named-user licensing. Instead of activating products through a shared serial number, subscriptions would be assigned to individual user identities. The transition was scheduled to begin in May 2021.
Named-user licensing affects account administration, sign-in and licence assignment rather than the creative feature set of an Autodesk application. The original overview and migration instructions were published on the Autodesk transition page. Organisations reviewing this historical change should consult current licensing documentation and test sign-in and deployment procedures before changing a production environment.
