Troubleshoot payment errors

If you get an error while processing a payment in Autodesk Account, verify the following:

  • Card number and expiration date—For security reasons, you can’t view or edit existing card information. If you entered the wrong card information or your card has expired, select Add Card to enter the card information again as a new payment method. 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.
  • Purchase limits—Some banks place a limit on how much you can spend on an individual purchase or in a single day. Even if the funds are available, your bank may not authorize the charge. If so, call your bank. Ask the bank to authorize the charge or get information about their online purchase policies.
