Student License expired. Now I can't subscribe to any license

Hey,

So at some point, my hobby license switched to student, something that seems pretty common.
I didn't think too much of it, seeing as how I've been a student during the time that I've used Autodesk products.

 

Unfortunately it seems that student license has expired.
In the about tab on fusion 360 my license is listed as a Fusion 360 Trial, however I cannot create new projects. I get the usage limit exceeded error.

I'm also unable to re-subscribe to the hobbyist license as the option isn't appearing in my application.

 

I can't contact support because I don't have a license, so my only option is to hope that someone knows how to re-enable the subscribe button in the application.

 

Thanks.

Hi @mynameisryankellow,

 

Thank you for posting in the forum! I have escalated this issue to the account team and asked them to manually expire your trial so you will be able to activate a hobbyist license. I believe the team will reach out to you shortly but if you don't hear from anyone regarding this, please let me know.

 

Also, if you are unable to create a new project even after activating a hobbyist license, please let me know.

Thank you so much for getting back to me.

I did receive an email from one of your support operators, however all they did was tell me to post in the education support forum! 

This is a bit of an issue since I don't want an educational license, nor do I qualify for one.

 

Other than that they simply said, post in the forum or send a direct message. No other help 😞

 

Is there anything else you might be able to do?

 

Again, thankyou for your help so far.

Hi @mynameisryankellow,

 

Thank you for your response, and I am sorry to hear about the service you received.

 

Just to check, are you able to create and save files within an existing project or are you seeing Read Only/Term has expired at the top?

If you can save files without getting errors but not able to create new projects, I suspect there is an issue with your hub, and the root cause may not be related to your license status.

 

Please let me know if you can save files.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Something changed over night and the restrictions have been removed from my account.

 

It's still a trial, but that will be okay until 30 days from expiry.

 

Thanks again for the help you've provided!
