Consultation on purchasing AutoCAD license

AutoCAD is the most famous and widely used CAD design software in the world today, developed and distributed by the software company Autodesk. AutoCAD is applied in most technical design industries such as mechanical engineering, construction, electrical design, oil and gas, etc. This article will provide advice on solutions for purchasing AutoCAD software so that you can find the best option for your business.

The distribution methods for AutoCAD licenses

Currently, all Autodesk software, in general, is distributed in the form of a subscription and e-license, which means you can download the installation package directly from the internet instead of using a disk. The subscription can be distributed for 1 year or 3 years, depending on the usage needs.

The benefit of a subscription license is that it offers more affordable costs compared to a perpetual license. You will always have access to the latest version during the usage period, and it is easy to adjust the number of licenses or purchase additional ones after each year.

Versions of AutoCAD

Every year, AutoCAD releases a new version, and subscribers are allowed to download and use the last three versions starting from the latest version available on Autodesk's website.

AutoCAD will have two types: AutoCAD LT and AutoCAD (Full), where:

AutoCAD Full is the most comprehensive version. Since the 2019 version, it has integrated all the specialized toolsets for faster design (specialized toolsets) — users have the option to choose and download these toolsets based on their needs.
AutoCAD LT is a simplified version of AutoCAD (LITE), with some features removed compared to the full version of AutoCAD, such as 3D design and LISP programming...

The subscription price for AutoCAD LT will be approximately one-quarter of the price of AutoCAD Full.

Types of AutoCAD Licenses

A - Classification by Number of Users:

Single-User (stand-alone): It is a subscription license for individual users. Each license is installed and used on a single computer and managed by a separate Autodesk user account. One account can simultaneously own multiple seats (licenses), but it must be installed and used on the same number of computers as the number of seats owned. (For example, if you have 20 AutoCAD seats, you can only install it on up to 20 computers).
Multi-User (network): It is a subscription license that allows you to install the software on more computers than the number of seats owned, but the number of concurrent users must still be equal to the number of seats. The license is distributed through a LAN network system and the Network License Manager software. (For example, if you have 20 AutoCAD seats, you can install the software on 30 computers, but only a maximum of 20 computers can use the software at the same time).

The price of the Multi-User license will be about 30-40% higher than the Single-User license (depending on the software and the company's policies at any given time).

B - Classification by purpose of use:

Commercial: It is a commercial license, intended for businesses and used for commercial purposes.
Not for resale: It is a license that does not allow resale and can only be used internally by Autodesk's employees and technicians.
Education: The license is intended for research and educational purposes, offered free of charge by Autodesk to students and educational institutions.
