Where have the downloads of perpetually licensed installations gone?

Today I was browsing my account settings and noticed that the account manager website does not list my Maya setup files anymore as it used to in the past.

I understand that Autodesk is on the subscription train and wants to leave perpetuals behind.

But this behaviour is actively hindering and making it harder to get my downloads. Apparently I can talk to the help chat bot - but even that bot is missing out on perpetual owners and only lists subscribers and educationals as valid customer models.

Not cool, Autodesk, not cool.

Found this:

Looks like a raised middle finger to me. So you want us to pirate the previous versions then? Look, perpetual - this term means something over here. Time for a lawyer.
