Is Flex right for you?

Compare the benefits of Flex and subscription to determine the right mix for you.

Flex

Best for occasional users

  • Buy tokens to access a wide range of Autodesk products.
  • Use tokens to access a product for 24 hours at a time or to generate a result.
  • Assign as many users as you want to Flex and manage which products they can access.

Subscription

Best for frequent users

  • Buy subscriptions to specific Autodesk products.
  • Use the product as often as you want during the subscription term.
  • Assign each subscription to a specific user; reassign the subscription as often as you need.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

You have one year from the purchase date to use your tokens for Flex. As Flex is a pay as you go model, tokens do not roll over and you may purchase additional tokens at any time. You will receive notifications from Autodesk when you have a low balance.

For products and services charged per day:

When a user opens and signs into an Autodesk product included with Flex, they will be charged a daily rate per product once every 24 hours. Users will not be charged for using multiple versions or reopening the product within the 24-hour period.

For example, Priscilla opens and signs into AutoCAD from 8am-5pm on Monday. Her team is charged 7 tokens. She opens AutoCAD from 7am-5pm on Tuesday. Her team is charged 7 tokens at 8am. She closes AutoCAD at 5pm and does not open it again for the week. She will only be charged for two days of usage.

For products and services charged per result:

Users will be charged a variable rate based on the type of result (for example, rendering an image in Revit).

Yes, admins can have users on a mix of subscriptions and Flex.

When a user is assigned to both subscriptions and Flex, subscriptions will be used before tokens. For example, if Priscilla is assigned to a subscription of AutoCAD and to Flex, Priscilla will use her subscription when she uses AutoCAD and will not use any tokens.

No, we are unable to support splitting token packs into separate teams at this time. If you are interested in purchasing Flex for multiple teams in your Autodesk Account, please place an order for one team at a time.

After purchase, tokens will automatically be added to your team's token balance for use by any user assigned to Flex. If you would like to move your Flex purchase to another team, its remaining token balance must be moved in full.

Your users assigned to Flex will automatically receive the benefits of the plan you currently have for your subscriptions. If you do not have any existing Autodesk subscriptions, your users assigned to Flex will automatically receive the Standard plan. If you would like to upgrade to a Premium plan or have any questions about Autodesk pricing, please reach out to your Autodesk representative (US Site).

Tokens can be purchased online or through an eligible Autodesk partner. You can purchase more tokens any time using either method, regardless of how you made your initial purchase. Please note that non-payment of invoices will result in the loss of access to products included with Flex and, potentially, future purchase privileges.

If your team does not have enough tokens, users will lose access to Flex and will be unable to open the product. Flex is a pay as you go model, so users will be able to use products once more tokens are purchased.

Admins have the option to provide access to all products included with Flex to all users or to restrict access to specific products or users.

Starting March 29, 2022, cloud credits are being replaced with tokens and tokens can be used for pay-per-result services. After March 29, 2022, see rates for services included with Flex.

No, there are no discounts for non-profits or students available for Flex.
