Launch your trial software and click Subscribe Now on the trial screen or visit AutoCAD’s Subscribe page. When buying your subscription, enter the same email address and password combination you used to sign in to your trial. Learn more about converting a trial to a paid subscription.

AutoCAD software is available with a subscription only. We no longer sell perpetual licenses. Learn more about our software licensing program (US site).

Your AutoCAD subscription gives you access to install and use the 3 previous versions. Available downloads are listed in your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com after subscribing. See also previous releases available for subscribers.

With a subscription to AutoCAD software, you can install it on up to 3 computers or other devices. However, only the named user can sign in and use that software on a single computer at any given time. Please refer to the Software License Agreement (US site) for more information.

Sign in to manage.autodesk.com, select Billing & Orders, click Edit Payment, and turn off auto-renew. Your subscription details will then list an expiration date instead of a renewal date. Your subscription remains active until the expiration date.

Yes, you can use AutoCAD on both Mac and Windows if you are on an AutoCAD subscription. You can use the same subscription username and password to activate your software on either Windows or Mac platforms. The version years must match, and you'll need to download and install the correct software for your operating system. (If you download a free trial of AutoCAD and want to try it on both platforms, you need to sign up for 2 trials, one for Windows and one for Mac. You can choose to download and try each version simultaneously or one after the other. Note that the AutoCAD mobile app isn't a part of the trial, but is included in the subscription).

When you subscribe to AutoCAD, you gain full access to the new AutoCAD web and mobile apps. These apps provide fast, seamless access to DWG™ files wherever you are, from virtually any device. And you can draft, edit, measure, and annotate with the core tools and technology of AutoCAD.

Subscriptions sold online are single-user access—a single user can access, activate, and use each subscription seat. Users cannot share a seat, but you can purchase additional stand-alone licenses and then assign those seats to different users.
