What is happening?
Autodesk will be releasing a new named user license offering for Autodesk Netfabb Local Simulation 2022.
Why is this happening?
On May 7, 2020, Autodesk launched new subscription plans based on people and began retiring plans based on serial numbers. These named user plans provide a range of administrative, support, and reporting capabilities for businesses of every size. To learn more, see https://www.autodesk.com/campaigns/transition-to-named-user.
When will the changes for Autodesk Netfabb Local Simulation take place?
December 7, 2021: New named user subscriptions available for purchase.
January 7, 2021: New multi-user subscriptions can no longer be purchased.
August 7, 2022: Multi-user subscriptions can no longer be renewed.
What does this mean for me?
At the time of your Autodesk Netfabb Local Simulation renewal, you will have two renewal options:
- Renew your multi-user contracts for 1 year (you must renew before Aug. 7, 2022).
- Choose to end your current multi-user contracts and subscribe to the new Autodesk Netfabb Local Simulation named user offering, at a lower price point than the multi-user offering.
Note: There is no difference in functionality between Multi-user and Named User, other than limiting usage to a single user.
I received a 2-for-1 offer for changing some of my other Autodesk products to named user subscriptions. Does changing to the Netfabb Local Simulation named user subscription let me get the same 2-for-1 offer?
Autodesk Netfabb Local Simulation named user is a new offering that does not qualify for the 2-for-1 transition to named user offer. In addition, as it is a new offering, Netfabb Local Simulation 2022.0 with a named user license does not include previous versions of this software.
Who can I reach out to if I am ready to make the switch to named user or if I have questions about my existing Netfabb Local Simulation subscription?
Please contact your Autodesk Authorized Reseller or your Autodesk sales representative to learn more about this new named user offering, or you can email us at: netfabb.pm@autodesk.com.
