How do I get Fusion Lifecycle PDM?

[John.Burrill]

I'm part of a small design team that uses Solidworks and I recently saw the videos for the Fusion LIfecycle PDM tools look really promising for managing CAD data.  I have a couple of questions that I need answered in order to figure out if I want to go this route.
Do I have to get the full Lifecycle PLM Suite or can I buy those a-la-carte?
Where can I find information on pricing and terms and possibly get a trial?

Thanks

I already have a tennant of Fusion Lifecycle, and I am unable to access the "data" tab. I'm prompted to download and install Autodesk Drive, which I have already done. What am I missing?

Greetings,
Please reach to our support technicians for assistance. If all's well, the Data menu link should be enabled and lead you to the file mgmt aspect of FLC. Also, adding a file from attachments tab of any item should give you access to the same file mgmt area to attach from. It appears that your environment has encountered an issue; let our support folk assist you. HTH,

Wondering if you have an update if you tried Fusion?

Fusion Lifecycle appears to use Autodesk Vault for PDM. So I imagine one must pay for both to use it as a cloud PDM system 😞  Happy to be wrong there.  It's cool they do post prices for Fusion ("Pro" is $965/year/user currently, which is not bad).

I'm interested in cloud PDM solution that would work for Inventor, SolidWorks and Creo. Seems like there would be more success in this essential arena already.

Also considering Upchain.   Thanks
