Hi @Anonymous,

thanks for posting!

Firstly, make sure that you qualify for the free use of Fusion 360 (i.e. that your business generates less than $100,000 or the local equivalent) per year from the total sale of goods or services. The details are explained here: Do I qualify for the free use of Fusion 360?.

If you still have the commercial subscription and do not need to use it anymore, follow the steps below to turn the auto renewal off and let the commercial subscription expire: Cancel Subscription Renewal in Autodesk Account. If it's expired already, proceed to the next step.

After it's expired, follow the steps described here to apply for a Start-Up license: How to activate Start-up, Student or Educational licensing for Fusion 360. Log in to Fusion 360 with the same email address you used before to be able to work on your existing projects.

Let me know if that helps. Thanks!

Best regards,

Hi

Yes, I'm sure about free use...
I want to keep current account, not opening new one - I want to have access to my old work...
Is it possible?

Thank you 🙂

Hi

When I trying to activate "start-up" license, system says :You already have an existing Fusion 360 license. Access Fusion 360 in your Autodesk Account". I can't find any information about this license on my account...

I tried this but it keeps taking me to a page requiring me to put in a school I'm attending. I don't go to school. How do I get around that?
