The choices are:įusion 360 for personal use (Free) - Limited functionality for non-commercial, personal use only.įusion 360 for startup use (Free) - Includes all existing Fusion 360 capabilities for the design and manufacture of new or innovative products. I’ve been forwarded an email from Autodesk to a Startup/Hobbyist license holder, and the email asks the license holder to choose one of three options upon annual renewal. However, it seems that Autodesk is tightening up the free licenses. Certainly some of these free license holders eventually moved up to the paid versions as their work became more serious.
This license proved extremely popular and since its introduction I’ve seen it more or less take over the “Free” community. This license allowed individuals to use the product at no charge as long as the usage was for personal use or for a startup company with annual revenue less than US$100K. This is a very common practice in the software industry as it provides significant advantages: a near-100% likelihood that all participants are on the same software release, and a guaranteed smooth flow of income.Īmong the subscription levels provided by Autodesk for Fusion 360 was what they called the “Startup/Hobbyist” license. The company moved the product to a subscription-based cloud system a couple of years ago and then simplified their licensing levels. Happy startup company staff using Fusion 360 Autodesk seems to be tightening up their rules regarding use of the popular Fusion 360 CAD system.
