Autodesk Flex, Smarter Access for Modern Teams
Autodesk®
Understanding Autodesk Flex and why purchasing through an Authorized Partner like Graitec makes all the difference.
What is Autodesk Flex?
Autodesk Flex is a pre-paid licensing model. Instead of traditional subscriptions, users purchase “tokens” upfront.
- Users purchase tokens upfront, which act as credits for software access.
- Tokens are deducted daily when an Autodesk product is opened and used.
- The number of tokens required varies by product.
- Ideal for individuals or teams needing occasional access.
- Helps optimize costs by paying only for actual software usage.
How Does Flex Work?
Buy tokens for your team.
Purchase a pool of tokens to allocate software usage across users.
⇒
Assign users to Flex in your Autodesk Account.
Easily assign access to anyone in your team through a central admin console.
⇒
Consume tokens from the available pool each day a product is open.
Tokens are deducted only on days when a product is used, making costs usage-based.
⇒
Track usage and manage token consumption.
View detailed reports to monitor activity and optimize token spending.
