Hobby license usage question

moto52000 — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 17:50:34 GMT

Hello. I have been using the hobby version for my home shop. I travel for work very often and have installed Fusion 360 on my work laptop. The company I work for does not use Fusion in any capacity so this will be just for my entertainment on the long flights. Is this ok?

I am not an Autodesk employee so this is the opinion of one using Fusion 360 in the same capacity. I feel you will be well inside the license rules for installation and use of the Fusion 360 application on your laptop. Just because it is a work laptop, in not relevant. What you use the software for is the important question. Below is the terms of use taken from the Autodesk Fusion 360 site relevant to your question. Look at the part under Startup.

Hey moto52000,

jhackney1972 is correct, the computer you've installed the software on is irrelevant. As long as the license holder (that's you) is using it exclusively for hobbyist purposes and no one else at your workplace is using it for commercial purposes, you're in the clear. Enjoy!
