As we look ahead to 2025, it’s important to stay informed about key industry updates that could impact your planning and budgeting. Autodesk has announced upcoming price and policy changes that will take effect in May 2025.
In this article, we’ll break down what’s changing and what it means for you, so you can prepare with confidence.
Effective May 7, 2025: Autodesk will increase renewal prices for Move to Subscription (M2S) and Transition to Named User (TNU) subscriptions by 5% globally.
Effective May 10, 2025: These discounted subscriptions will only be available for annual renewal. Any multi-year terms will automatically convert to annual terms.
Recommended Action: Renew or extend your M2S or TNU subscriptions now – and consider switching to a 3-year term (billed annually) to lock in current rates.
2. General Autodesk Subscription Price Increase
Effective May 7, 2025: Autodesk will implement an approximate 3.3% price increase for most single-user subscriptions (both annual and multi-year). Products with previously discounted or exception pricing may see larger increases.
Recommended Action: Renew, extend, or purchase subscriptions before May 7th and consider a 3-year term (billed annually) to optimize savings.
Why Renew Now?
Staying current with your Autodesk subscriptions means continued access to the latest tools and improvements:
Greater Flexibility: Enjoy mobile access and fewer device restrictions.
Enhanced Visibility: Track seat usage, support cases, alerts, and renewals in real time.
Improved User Experience: Streamlined navigation and self-serve tools for faster workflows.

Effective January 7, 2025, prices will increase on many Autodesk subscription renewals.
Autodesk recently announced that the 5% discount on annual renewals will be discontinued and the 10% discount on multi-year renewals will be reduced to 5%. This change does not apply to subscription renewals discounted through trade-in offers like Move to Subscription (M2S) and Transition to Named User.
Here’s how to plan ahead:
Renew your subscription early and before January 7, 2025 to take advantage of current pricing.
Renew for a 3-year term to avoid any possible prices increases during that period.
