I too have been holding on to (2) perpetual licensees while adding subscriptions (rentals) for other seats.

Logic was why rent when you already own it AND Maintenance allowed support for the product.

As AutoDesk was phasing out Maintenance I intended to keep the perps running for a few years more - without support.

BUT

The Maintenance contracts were being phased out last year - I emailed my reseller for a renewal one last time before they stopped allowing them...

Shame On Me... for not reading what I received back closer. It was to convert the Perpetuals to Rentals rather than a Maintenance renewal. I did not realize that till 7 months in : when I expected the Maintenance contracts would be ending.

Never wanted to convert to a subscription/rental contract....especially for one license that was originally purchase personally. All my emails over the years supported that objective. But now it's gone and no one seems to be willing to get even (1) of the perpetual licenses reinstated. I will be retiring soon and wanted to continue use my CAD non-commercially.

After 26 years of great experience with AutoDesk it is now ending sadly.

There doesn't seem to be a happy resolve of this for me.

This post is more a warning for others that hold Perpetual Licenses.
