Renew a subscription

You can set up your Autodesk product subscriptions to renew automatically, either individually or in bulk. If you are in a managed environment, renewals are performed by your contract manager, purchaser, or primary admin.

Here are a few things to know about renewing a subscription:

• Trial subscriptions — Trial software can't be renewed or extended. To continue using the product, you need to buy a subscription. See Convert a trial to a subscription for more information.
• Expired subscriptions — You can’t restart expired subscriptions. To renew access to software and services, get a new subscription online.
• Changing a subscription term length — In some regions, you can change your subscription term (for example, from a monthly to an annual subscription) in Autodesk account.
• Manual renewals — Some subscription renewals can only be managed manually.

To ensure that your renewal is successful on the renewal date, your recurring payment method must be valid and auto-renew turned on.

1. Sign in to your account.
2. In the subscription list, select a product to open the subscription details and review the payment method on file.
   
3. Click Turn Auto-renew On to ensure automatic renewal processes on the renewal date.
4. Follow the instructions to complete the change.

You can turn auto-renewal on for up to 100 subscriptions at once with the bulk auto-renewal feature. 

1. Sign in to your Autodesk account.
2. Under Billings and Orders > Subscriptions and Contracts, use search or filter to generate a selected list of subscriptions. 
3. From the Actions menu, select Manage Auto-Renew.
4. Choose to turn subscription auto-renew on. 
5. Select the checkbox at the top of the list to turn subscription auto-renew on.
   
6. Select Continue and follow the on-screen instructions.

Some payment methods require you to renew your subscription manually such as Alipay, Konbini, and wire transfer. You may also choose to renew your subscription manually, beginning 90 days before expiration. Your renewal options are visible in your Autodesk account and you are also sent an email.

To renew a single subscription manually in account:

You can manually renew up to 100 subscriptions at a time, up to 90 days before your renewal date, giving you greater control over the timing of your payment.
