However, I just signed up for it and used my serial number and it is telling me it expires in 1 year? Can you tell me what happened and what I can do? I need the software for College for at least 3 years.</P> Wed, 08 Apr 2020 01:02:27 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing-forum/is-the-free-student-trial-license-3-years-or-1-year/m-p/9429145#M35525 Anonymous 2020-04-08T01:02:27Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing-forum/is-the-free-student-trial-license-3-years-or-1-year/m-p/9429180#M35526 <P>read your other thread:&nbsp;<A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/is-the-free-student-license-duration-one-year-or-3-years/td-p/9429157" target="_blank">https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/is-the-free-student-license-duration-one-year-or-3-years/td-p/9429157</A></P> Wed, 08 Apr 2020 01:34:36 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing-forum/is-the-free-student-trial-license-3-years-or-1-year/m-p/9429180#M35526 DarrenP 2020-04-08T01:34:36Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing-forum/is-the-free-student-trial-license-3-years-or-1-year/m-p/9429759#M35527 <P><A href="https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/simplecontent/content/term-length-for-educational-licenses.html?_ga=2.90124571.1836784460.1585927142-915844861.1585927142" target="_blank">https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/simplecontent/content/term-length-for-educational-licenses.html?_ga=2.90124571.1836784460.1585927142-915844861.1585927142</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>What’s changing?</STRONG></P> <P>Effective March 25th, 2020, the term length for all single user, multi-user and network Educational licenses available through the Autodesk Education Community, is 1-year.
