Update Software in Autodesk Account
Autodesk subscription and maintenance plan customers have access to the most recent version of Autodesk software when a new version is released during a contract term. Product versions are independent of one another and are not "add-ons" to previous releases. You'll need to download and install the full new product version. You do not need to uninstall your old version and can use different versions at the same time.
Need updates, hotfixes, and extensions? See Install Updates, Add-ons and Enhancements to find out how to add updates and fixes to products you've already installed.
