In a recent announcement, Autodesk has unveiled changes to its software purchasing model that will take effect from June 10, 2024.
The primary change is the process of ordering and paying for Autodesk software. Moving forward, once your Autodesk software quote from Microsol Resources has been finalized, subscription payments for Autodesk software will be conducted directly with Autodesk.
This shift means a direct transactional relationship between customers and Autodesk for software acquisitions, marking a departure from the traditional method of purchasing through authorized resellers like Microsol Resources.
Key Changes
Direct Purchase from Autodesk
Starting June 10, 2024, customers will be required to buy Autodesk software directly from Autodesk, excluding specific products and government agencies, which will continue to be available through resellers like Microsol Resources.
Maintained Partnership
Despite this change, Microsol Resources will continue to serve as a trusted partner for customers. Support, training, and quote requests will still be facilitated by Microsol Resources. However, the actual transaction will occur directly through Autodesk.
New Buying Experience Overview
Quoting & Configuration
Microsol Resources will configure quotes for customers based on Autodesk’s pricing. Customers will receive quotes from Autodesk via email, and the order will be placed directly with Autodesk after approval. Here’s a video that walks you through the new quoting process step by step.
Payment Process
The payment transaction will no longer be handled by Microsol Resources. Customers will pay directly from within their Autodesk accounts, providing a seamless purchasing experience. This video will show you how to review and pay for your invoice within the Autodesk account.
Autodesk is shifting to a direct transactional model to provide customers with a streamlined purchasing experience. By managing software transactions directly, Autodesk aims to simplify procurement and enhance customer satisfaction. This change also enables more consistent pricing and a unified support system.
What will change for me?
Starting June 10, 2024, you will purchase Autodesk software directly from Autodesk. Microsol Resources will continue to assist with support, training, and configuring quotes, but payments and final transactions will occur through Autodesk’s system. Customers will need to set up Autodesk as a vendor in their procurement systems to accommodate this new process.
Where can I get support?
Microsol Resources remains your trusted partner for support. We are here to ensure a smooth transition and provide assistance with training, technical support, and account setup. Contact your Microsol Resources Autodesk Account Executive or email us for detailed information about the new process.

Can I still purchase software from other vendors through Microsol Resources?
Yes, Microsol Resources continues to offer software from other leading technology providers. This change affects only Autodesk’s purchasing model and does not impact your ability to purchase other software solutions through us.
Will this affect pricing?
Pricing for Autodesk software will remain consistent and will be set by Autodesk. Microsol Resources will receive compensation from Autodesk for facilitating transactions and assisting clients, ensuring no additional cost to you.
How do I prepare for this change?
Setting Up Autodesk as a Vendor: To streamline the invoicing process, customers are advised to set up Autodesk as a vendor in their procurement systems. Microsol Resources can assist in this process.
