The time is coming up where many of you will need to renew your access to the Education licenses - so here's how to do it!
Your access to the Education plan will expire at the end of one-year. You can renew your access annually as long as you are eligible.
Thirty days before the expiration of your one-year Education plan access, you'll be sent an email reminder. You can also find your expiration date in the personalized banner notification when you sign in to your account on the Autodesk Education Community website.
If you do not renew your access, your free access will end when your Education plan expires. If you have files stored in Drive, you can continue to access them, but you will not be able to edit them or upload new files.
Note: Documents stored in Autodesk cloud service remain available for 30 days after your Education plan access expires. Be sure to retrieve any files stored in Autodesk cloud service before the end of this period.
To renew access:
- Make sure you are still eligible for educational access by reviewing who is eligible.
- On the Autodesk Education Community website, sign in to your account.
- Click Renew Now in the personalized banner notification.
- Once you confirm your eligibility, your access will be automatically extended for another year. Any product subscriptions that you hold will also be automatically extended for another year.
To restart access:
If your access has already expired and you are still eligible, you can restart your educational access.
- On the Autodesk Education Community website, sign in to your account.
- Click Restart Access in the personalized banner notification.
- Once you confirm your eligibility, your access will be automatically extended for another year.
Once you've renewed or restarted access, there's no need to download a new version of your installed software unless you want the latest version.
