Autodesk Software Licences
Autodesk software supplied on 3-year licences for one named user, priced in GBP and delivered digitally. Choose the product, then pick Windows or Mac and a release year (2024–2027) on the product page; your licence details and installation guidance arrive by email after payment confirmation.
The range covers the whole Autodesk design catalogue: AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, the seven specialised AutoCAD toolsets, Revit, Inventor, Fusion, Civil 3D, 3ds Max, Maya, Navisworks, Advance Steel and the AEC, Product Design & Manufacturing and Media & Entertainment collections. We describe these as fixed-term 3-year licences, not as lifetime, perpetual or pre-owned licences.
Professional software licences, clearly presented. Secure GBP checkout, digital delivery and activation support from a real team.
How to choose the right Autodesk product
Autodesk sells by subscription only, with UK list prices from about £492 a year for AutoCAD LT to £2,712 a year for Revit and more for the collections. A 3-year licence from AutoSoftKey covers the same software for a single payment, so the question is not whether you can afford it but which product actually fits the work. The table below is the shortest route to the right listing.

Autodesk licence FAQs
How much does an Autodesk subscription cost in the UK?
On Autodesk’s UK store (September 2026): AutoCAD about £1,890 a year, AutoCAD LT £492, Revit £2,712, Fusion £612 and the AEC Collection more still, all including VAT. AutoSoftKey’s 3-year licences start at £39.
Are these lifetime or perpetual Autodesk licences?
No. Autodesk has not sold perpetual licences since 2016. AutoSoftKey supplies 3-year licences with a defined end date and does not describe them as lifetime, perpetual or pre-owned.
Can I choose the release year?
Yes. Each product page lets you select 2024, 2025, 2026 or 2027, and Windows or Mac where Autodesk offers a Mac edition.
Do I need an Autodesk account?
Usually yes. Current Autodesk products download and activate through an Autodesk account; your delivery email explains which account to use.
Is AutoSoftKey the right place to buy Autodesk software?
AutoSoftKey is an independent UK software retailer supplying Autodesk products on 3-year licences for one named user. Buyers who need Autodesk’s enterprise agreements, multi-seat administration or Autodesk’s own support desk should buy from Autodesk directly.
How quickly will I receive my licence?
Most orders are processed promptly after payment confirmation; a small number are held briefly for a routine manual check. Delivery is by email to your checkout address.
