Troubleshooting Download Issues

See these articles for troubleshooting tips if you have problems downloading your software:

Select an Account For Your Order

If you have an existing Autodesk Account, we recommend that you use the email address and password for that account when you make your purchase.

All correspondence about your order, subscription benefits, and future product releases are sent to the email address associated with your Autodesk Account.

  • To sign in to an existing account: Enter your Autodesk Account email address and password. Click Forgot to reset your password.
  • To create an account: Enter an email address and password during ordering. The billing information you enter is used for your profile. Visit accounts.autodesk.com to edit your profile after placing an order.
  • To create a password: Enter a password with a minimum of 8 characters that contains at least one letter and one number. The password also must contain at least 3 unique characters.

About Administrator Accounts

The Autodesk Account you enter during purchase of a software subscription becomes the administrator account.

Administrators have the option of using the software or assigning access to another user after purchase. See Managing Users & Permissions for more information.

Here's some guidance on which Autodesk Account sign-in information to use during ordering:

  • Purchaser is the user: If you subscribe to Autodesk software and intend to use it yourself, use or create a personal Autodesk Account during purchase.
  • Purchaser is not the user: Use or create an administrator account to purchase and manage all the subscription software for your organization. Your end users can visit accounts.autodesk.com and create personal accounts without buying software. You can then use the end-user email accounts to grant access to download and use the software.

Order Confirmation and Communications

Autodesk delivers access, download, and activation information by email. In most cases, your products are available in your Autodesk Account shortly after purchase. If you don't receive the confirmation or fulfillment email messages within 24 hours after you place your order, check your Spam and Junk folders or contact support for assistance.

Order Confirmation Email. Serves as your invoice and contains your order number. Print or save this message as a record of your purchase.

Order Fulfillment Email. This message is sent after we process your payment and deliver your software or services. For some products, you receive only one email message containing your order confirmation and fulfillment information. Your fulfillment message contains the following information:

  • Order Number
  • Sign-in information for your Autodesk Account
  • Cloud service access and software download instructions
  • Activation information such as serial numbers

Common Order Errors

The following troubleshooting tips help eliminate errors you may encounter when you subscribe online:

  • Place Separate Orders: You may get an error if you combine different product license types or terms in the same order. Place separate orders for each product type or subscription term.
  • Restart Your Browser: Closing and restarting your web browser may solve issues with web-based applications.
  • Clear Cache and Browsing Data: Data from previous Autodesk Store visits can cause problems when you order.
  • Update Your Browser: Use the most recent version to ensure compatibility with our store features.
  • Try a Different Browser: If other troubleshooting options don't work, try using another web browser.

Payment & Recurring Billing

Pay for Your Order

We accept Visa and MasterCard. You can safely enter your entire credit card number via our secure server, which encrypts all submitted information.

We also have Wire Transfer/Bank Transfer payment method. If you choose Wire Transfer/Bank Transfer as the payment method, the subscription will not be automatically renewed. You will need to perform manual renewal at the end of your subscription.

Common Payment Errors

Here are some items to check if you encounter payment errors:

  • Card Number and Expiration Date: For security reasons, you cannot view or edit new or existing card information after you enter it. You can try entering the card information again as a new payment method by selecting Add Card. Verify that the card number and expiration date are correct.
  • Name and Billing Address: Verify that the name and billing address match the address on record with your payment provider. You can review and edit these items in the cart.
  • Purchase Limits: Some banks place a limit on how much you can spend on an individual purchase or in a single day. Even if you have funds available, your bank may not authorize the charge. Call your bank and ask them to authorize the charge or get information about their online purchase policies.

Payment Processing

Online payments

We process charges for your order as soon as our systems can complete the order and make your software or services available online. Processing typically takes 1-5 days, as some transfers between banks can take time for processing the payment. Check with your payment provider for information about when charges will post to your account.

Taxes and Fees

Taxes may apply depending on country selected in checkout.

 

For Malaysia customers, from 1 January 2020 6% Digital Sales Tax (DST) is charged in all new and auto-renewing subscriptions.

 

For Thai customers, 7% VAT wil be charged in all new and auto-renewing subscriptions.

Automatic Billing for Subscriptions

Your Autodesk software and service subscriptions automatically renew to ensure you have continuous access. You will be charged for a new subscription term on the renewal date listed in your Autodesk Account.

Monthly subscriptions purchased from the Autodesk store and subscriptions purchased prior to July 23rd, 2019 renew automatically, however, some subscription term lengths are only available from Resellers or your Autodesk sales representative and do not renew automatically. You will receive renewal notifications 45, 30, and 4 days prior to expiration with renewal instructions.

The payment method you entered during purchase for will be used for subscription renewal. If you prefer to use a different payment method for recurring billing for subscription renewal, you can update your payment settings in your Autodesk Account.

About Monthly Renewal

If you choose a Monthly subscription, you are charged the renewal rate automatically each month on an ongoing basis until you turn off automatic renewal. If you wish to subscribe for only one month or end your subscription after several months, you must visit your Autodesk Account and turn off the automatic renewal setting before your account renews for the next monthly term.

  2. Locate your software in the list of Products & Services and click the arrow to expand the subscription details.
