Autodesk Flex

Pay as you go for occasional product use.

What is Flex?

Autodesk Flex is a pay-as-you-go option that lets admins pre-purchase tokens to access any product available with Flex for a daily rate. Rates vary based on the product used. Flex is a great option for team members or individuals who want to try a product or only need occasional access.

Flex

Best for occasional users

  • Buy tokens to access a wide range of Autodesk products.

  • Use tokens to access a product for 24 hours at a time or to generate a result.

  • Assign as many users as you want to Flex and manage which products they can access.

Subscription

Best for frequent users

  • Buy subscriptions to specific Autodesk products.

  • Use the product as often as you want during the subscription term.

  • Assign each subscription to a specific user; reassign the subscription as often as you need.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to use my Flex tokens, and do they roll over?

You have one year from the purchase date to use your tokens for Flex. As Flex is a pay-as-you-go model, tokens do not roll over and you may purchase additional tokens at any time. You will receive notifications from Autodesk when you have a low balance.

How am I charged for Flex product usage?

For products and services charged per day

When a user opens and signs in to an Autodesk product included with Flex, they will be charged a daily rate per product once every 24 hours. Users will not be charged for using multiple versions or reopening the product within the 24-hour period.

 

For example, Priscilla opens and signs into AutoCAD from 8 AM-5 PM on Monday. Her team is charged 7 tokens. She opens AutoCAD from 7 AM - 5 PM on Tuesday. Her team is charged 7 tokens at 8 AM. She closes AutoCAD at 5 PM and does not open it again for the week. She will only be charged for two days of usage.

 

For products and services charged per result

Users will be charged a variable rate based on the type of result (for example, rendering an image in Revit).

 

View the rates (US site) for each product and service available with Flex.

Can I have a mix of both subscription and Flex in my team?

Yes. Admins can have users on a mix of subscriptions and Flex.

 

When a user is assigned to both subscriptions and Flex, subscriptions will be used before tokens. For example, if Priscilla is assigned to a subscription of AutoCAD and to Flex, Priscilla will use her subscription when she uses AutoCAD and will not use any tokens.

Can I refund Flex orders?

Flex token orders may be returned up to 30 days after the date of purchase if none of the tokens have been used. If any tokens in the order have been used, the order is not eligible for a return.

Can I split token packs across different teams?

No, we are unable to support splitting token packs into separate teams at this time. If you need more Flex tokens, you can place an order for one team at a time in Autodesk Account.

 

After purchasing, tokens will be added automatically to your team's token balance for use by any user assigned to Flex. If you would like to move your Flex purchase to another team, its remaining token balance must be moved in full.

Where can I purchase Flex tokens?

Tokens can be purchased online or through an eligible Autodesk Partner. You can purchase more tokens at any time using either method, regardless of how you made your initial purchase. Non-payment of invoices will result in the loss of access (US site) to products included with Flex and, potentially, future purchase privileges.

Which Autodesk plan benefits do I receive when I buy Autodesk tokens?

Your users assigned to Flex automatically receive the benefits of the plan you currently have for your subscriptions. If you have not got any existing Autodesk subscriptions, your users assigned to Flex will automatically receive the Standard plan. If you would like to upgrade to a Premium plan or have any questions about Autodesk pricing, please contact to your Autodesk representative.

What happens when I run out of Autodesk tokens and my users try to open a product?

If your team does not have enough tokens, users will lose access to Flex and will be unable to open the product. Flex is a pay as you go model, so users will be able to use products once more tokens are purchased.

How do I manage Flex after purchase?

Find out how to set up and manage Flex in Autodesk Account.

Can I restrict user access to Autodesk products included with Flex?

Admins have the option to provide access to all products included with Flex to all users or to restrict access to specific products or users.

How are Autodesk tokens different from cloud credits?

As of 29 March 2022, cloud credits are being replaced with tokens and tokens can be used for most pay-per-result services. See rates for services included with Flex. If Flex is not yet available in your country, contact us.

Are there discounts for non-profit businesses or students?

No educational discounts are available for Flex. However, qualified Education plan customers can continue to use free Cloud Credits to access Autodesk services that require cloud computing such as Fusion 360 Generative Design (US Site).

If I purchase Flex, am I in a Token Flex Enterprise Business Agreement?

No. Only select companies qualify for an Enterprise Business Agreement, which includes access to Token Flex and other benefits. Please contact an Autodesk representative if you are interested in getting started with Enterprise or have any questions about Autodesk pricing.

Where can I get technical support?

Choose the live or online support option that works best for you – phone, chat, email or remote desktop assistance. Contact our support specialists and explore our self-service help.
