Inventor 2017 Home Use License?

Is a home use license available for Inventor Professional 2017 subscriptions?  I do not see Inventor Professional it listed on the following Autodesk website:

 

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/customer-service/account-management/software-downloads/home-use/eligi...

 

 

I am a little confused because the following Autodesk subscription website states: "FLEXIBLE LICENSING Use in the office, at home, or when you travel."

Where do I go to see my Home Use options?

The Products and Services tab of your Autodesk Account provides options to request a Home Use license depending on license type. 
Note: Not all products are available in all languages or regions. Home Use is available only for the listed products in your region.

also it's listed as

Sorry I was not clear. My question is whether the home use license is avialble for the standalone Inventor Professional 2017 subscription - not the Product Design Suites?

What happens if you go to the account setting I showed you in this image

Do you get this option under the products and your standalone ... or do you not have it yet?  

If not you might get a quicker answer on the Lic and Installation forum ...

I would contact your reseller or try the installation /Lic forum via the link I gave you and they could probably answer it 100%.

Is there a legal way for a home enthusiast to have Inventor less than $300+ per month?  Thanks!

become a student.....?

 

the problem is ...others try and take advantage of free stuff, so they had to tighten up.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I see you are a Mentor, so I know you are right in your assessment. I'm 57; not really excited by the prospect of returning to college. Thanks again!

What is your intended use?

Maybe Inventor LT would suite your needs? Inventor Professional

or

Fusion 360 is free to hobbyists.  (see the note in upper right corner of the linked page)

as JD says ...

 

Depends on your usuage ...

 

and he makes some great points for alternative options.

 

 

PS ...not of the cracked codes options are safe ...they more or less a virus, so don't risk your pc for it
