Autodesk BIM 360 Team is no longer available
By John Semel | Collaboration
As of April 9, 2018, Autodesk will no longer offer new subscriptions to BIM 360 Team. BIM 360 Team subscribers will have access to the new BIM 360 platform. The BIM 360 Team end-of-life activities also apply to A360 Team users.
Why is this happening?
With the launch of the unified Autodesk Construction Cloud portfolio – Autodesk products built for architecture, engineering, and construction lifecycle collaboration – is taking the next step in the end-of-life process for BIM 360 Team.
In this article, you can learn more about the impact on your account and the next steps you can consider for copying your data. The information and processes in this article will also help you take advantage of new data and document management functionality as it is released.
Consider Moving to Autodesk Docs
Autodesk Docs is cloud collaboration software that supports controlled data and document management from design through construction. Autodesk Docs offers similar functionality to BIM 360 Team but with greater file- and folder-based access and permission controls and unlimited storage. To learn more about Autodesk Docs, click here.
