Overview
Autodesk licensing for design and engineering teams
Design firms live and die by their software. When a project starts, the team needs AutoCAD and Revit working on day one. When it ends, nobody wants to keep paying for seats that sit idle. Autodesk licensing has changed a lot in recent years, and many firms are still running a mix of old network licences, newer named user subscriptions and a few seats bought online by individual staff.
We sort that out. We look at who uses which Autodesk products, how often, and on which projects. Then we recommend the right mix of single products, collections and pay per use options, and supply them as an authorised Autodesk reseller.
Autodesk now handles the purchase directly in many countries, with a partner preparing the quote and providing support. We explain how that works where you are and make sure renewals still land on dates that suit you.
Autodesk products we supply:
- AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT
- Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks and BIM Collaborate
- AEC Collection for architecture and construction
- Product Design and Manufacturing Collection
- Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya for visualisation
- Autodesk Flex for occasional users
What we supply
Autodesk licensing options for every kind of user
The right Autodesk licence depends on how often someone opens the software and which tools they need.
AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT
AutoCAD covers full 2D and 3D drafting with specialised toolsets. AutoCAD LT is a lower cost choice for people who only draw in 2D. Many firms overbuy the full version.
Revit for building design
Revit is the standard BIM tool for architects and building engineers. If someone needs Revit and AutoCAD together, the AEC Collection is usually better value.
AEC Collection bundles
The AEC Collection bundles Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks, 3ds Max and more into one subscription. It suits people who use three or more of those tools.
Named user subscriptions
Autodesk licenses most products to a named user who signs in with an Autodesk account. Seats can be reassigned when people move between projects or leave.
Autodesk Flex for occasional use
Autodesk Flex lets occasional users pay per day of use from a pool of tokens. It suits managers and reviewers who open Autodesk software a few times a month.
Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya for visualisation
Visualisation and animation teams use 3ds Max and Maya, available alone or in the Media and Entertainment Collection. We match the plan to the work.

Buying options
Named user, AEC Collection and Flex compared
Autodesk offers several ways to pay. Each suits a different pattern of use.
| Option | How it is counted | Best for | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single product, named user | One named person per seat | People who use one tool every day | Several single products can cost more than a collection. |
| Industry collection | One named person, many products | Designers who use three or more Autodesk tools | Paying for a collection when only AutoCAD is used. |
| Autodesk Flex | Tokens used per day of product use | Occasional users and reviewers | Heavy use burns tokens quickly; track it monthly. |
| Older network licences | Shared seats on a licence server | Legacy setups only | Autodesk retired these for new sales; plan the move. |
Autodesk sets its own products, prices and buying rules, which differ by country. We confirm the current terms for you in writing.

Reseller
Working with an Autodesk reseller
Autodesk sells most products as named user subscriptions, and an Autodesk reseller helps you choose between single products such as AutoCAD and collections such as the AEC Collection, which bundles AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D and more.
As an Autodesk reseller we quote one or three year terms, manage renewals and seat changes in Autodesk Account, and help teams move from older network licences to named users without losing productivity.
What our Autodesk reseller service covers:
- Single products or collections
- One or three year terms
- Renewals on one date
- Seat reviews before renewal
- Help moving to named users
Saving money
Matching Autodesk seats to real AutoCAD and Revit use
Engineering firms tend to buy for the busiest month of the year and keep paying through the quiet ones. A short review of real usage often shows several full AutoCAD seats used only for viewing drawings, or AEC Collection seats held by people who never open anything but AutoCAD.
Autodesk publishes usage reports for named user subscriptions. We read them with you, move light users to AutoCAD LT or Autodesk Flex, and keep the AEC Collection for the people who really use it.
What our Autodesk reviews often find:
- Viewers with full AutoCAD seats
- AEC Collection seats used for one product
- Seats still assigned to former staff
- Old network licences nobody tracks
- Separate renewals for each team
Buying model
How Autodesk sells today and what it means for you
Autodesk has moved to a model where, in many countries, it handles the transaction directly with you while a partner prepares the quote, advises you and provides support. You may receive the invoice from Autodesk rather than from the partner. Some products and some customer types are still handled the older way.
For you the practical effect is small, but it helps to know who to call for what. We prepare quotes, help with setup and training and stay your first contact for Autodesk questions. Autodesk explains its buying options on the official Autodesk buying page.
Collaboration
Autodesk cloud collaboration and BIM projects
More Autodesk work now happens in the cloud. Autodesk Docs and BIM Collaborate let architects, engineers and contractors work on the same Revit models from different offices, and keep a clear record of who changed what. On large projects in the Gulf and the UK, clients increasingly expect this as standard.
These cloud services are licensed separately from AutoCAD and Revit, and the right choice depends on how many companies share a project and who owns the models. We help you work out which Autodesk licensing you need for each project team, so that partners can view and comment without each of them buying full design seats.
Hardware matters as well. Revit and 3ds Max need capable workstations, and a slow machine wastes the value of an expensive Autodesk subscription. When we review your Autodesk licensing, we can also look at whether your computers are holding your designers back.
Why ApexGenTech
Why ask us about Autodesk licensing
Construction and engineering firms are also some of our biggest users of operations software. Our Nexora platform handles permits to work, safety inspections and asset records on site, while Autodesk tools handle design in the office. We understand both sides.
We can also help with the rest of your software: Microsoft licensing for email and Office, Adobe licensing for presentations and marketing, and support plans to keep design workstations running.

FAQ
Autodesk reseller FAQs
Can ApexGenTech supply Autodesk licensing?
Yes. We supply Autodesk products as an authorised Autodesk reseller, prepare quotes, help with setup and stay your first contact for Autodesk licensing questions.
Is the AEC Collection worth it compared with AutoCAD alone?
If a person regularly uses three or more products, such as Revit, AutoCAD and Civil 3D, the AEC Collection is usually cheaper. If they only use AutoCAD, a single product is better value.
What is an Autodesk named user licence?
A named user licence is assigned to one person who signs in with an Autodesk account. You can reassign the seat when someone leaves or moves to another project.
What happened to Autodesk network licences?
Autodesk stopped selling new multi user network licences and moved customers to named user subscriptions. If you still run a licence server, we help you plan the change.
What is Autodesk Flex?
Autodesk Flex is a pay per use option. You buy tokens and each day of product use costs a set number. It suits people who only open Autodesk software occasionally.
Do you provide Autodesk licensing in Saudi Arabia and Qatar?
Yes. We support Autodesk licensing for firms in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as Canada, the UK, the UAE and Pakistan.
Why buy AutoCAD from an Autodesk reseller?
An Autodesk reseller can quote multi year terms, put several products on one renewal date, advise on collections and support your team after purchase, while you pay Autodesk based pricing.
Does an Autodesk reseller help with licence compliance?
Yes. We review who uses which product, remove unused seats at renewal and make sure every user has a named licence, which keeps you compliant and stops you paying for idle seats.
