Fusion for Hobbiest

arkman — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:11:59 GMT

Hey Everyone,

I've been using fusion 360 for hobbiest for a few years now. Every year I have to sign up again and then my subscription renews and I'm good.

This time, I did that and it took several tries for the little "expired subscription" banner to go away (on the right hand side by my account name). I finally got it to go away but for some reason it still locks me in read only and I can't save at all. I also can't make past projects read only or editable like I used to.

Now it is saying "expired subscription" at the top of the window, but not on the right by my account info.

I'm stumped on what is going on. Does anyone have any advice?

I have the same problem. Looks like my Fusion 360 got somehow upgraded to Fusion? And now it's expired. I'm not sure how to gre back to Fusion 360.

Looks like reinstall did the trick. I removed old version from PC and then I went back to autodesk page and re-downloaded and installed Fusion for personal use.

Hi @klemen_dolinsek3

What you are seeing is expected. Fusion 360 has been renamed to Autodesk Fusion, so the application name has changed, but it is the same product.

Good to see product is working again.

I don't see that option. Maybe because I'm not the author of first post?

Not a problem, I have accepted the solution.
