Is the free student trial license 3 years or 1 year?

On the previous forums it says that the free student trial license duration is 3 years. 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.

What’s changing?

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. Users who continue to meet eligibility criteria, can access new Educational licenses under applicable terms. Upon expiration, licenses are renewable if the user still meets the eligibility criteria. This applies to all software products and all versions available through the Autodesk Education Community to students, educators, educational institution IT/ lab administrators and competition mentors.
 

Why has this been done?

Autodesk remains committed to supporting students, educators and educational institutions through the provision of free educational licenses for Autodesk professional software tools and services. A 1-year license term for Educational licenses helps to assure the legitimate use of these free licenses for educational purposes.

I still have the problem with the access to the verification.
I was not sure how to start my cad because I didn’t get the serial number
and the network license didn’t work for me either.
It would be a big relief if I can safely launch my cad 2021 (btw 2018 &
2020 were failed installing
