Autodesk Flex
As an alternative to the 1 or 3 year subscription, Autodesk Flex offers occasional users a cost-effective way to use a wide range of Autodesk products at a daily rate (24 consecutive hours).
Instead of paying for an entire subscription, even though you only need the software from time to time, you can now also purchase the majority of popular Autodesk products as a “pay-as-you-go” version. Quasi the“hop-on/hop-off version” in the software sector!
- Flexible use of different Autodesk products
- No commitment – use on a token basis
- Test Autodesk products without risk
How it works
You buy an individually estimated quantity of Autodesk Flex Tokens, which are valid for one year. There are packages starting at 100 Flex Tokens at a very reasonable entry price of 2.75 EURO/net per token point. You can redeem these at any time for 24-hour access to any Autodesk software product.
As long as you have tokens, you can also use some products free of charge, for example Fusion Team, Inventor Nesting, Process Analysis, Insight – Energy Analysis, Drive, Factory Design Utilities, and many more.
All products available for tokens, including the number of tokens required and the converted costs for using the software per day, can be found here!
Autodesk Flex vs. subscription model – which is worthwhile for you?
Whether you are better off with the classic subscription model or whether you benefit from Autodesk Flex depends on how often you need Autodesk software.
As a regular user, you continue to benefit from subscribing to an Autodesk product. With a subscription, you can use the software as often as you like during the subscription period.
Autodesk Flex offers several advantages for occasional users: Buy tokens to get access to a wide range of Autodesk products. When you redeem tokens for software, you get access to it for 24 hours from that moment. Any number of users in a team can use Flex, and you can specify which products they can access.
The advantages of Autodesk Flex
- Autodesk Flex Tokens can be used by several employees at the same time
- You only pay for the software when you need it (perfect for those who rarely use Autodesk, so a subscription is not worthwhile)
- The tokens can be redeemed for various Autodesk programs
- Less administrative effort / shorter procurement time
- Possibility to test Autodesk products without risk
