Aligning Value with Usage and Outcomes: Introducing Flex

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering flexible purchasing options that match value with actual usage and results, we’re excited to introduce **Flex**. This groundbreaking offering combines the advantages of a named user model with the convenience of a pay-as-you-go structure. Flex officially launched on **September 24**.

We are among the first in our industry to offer a consumption-based model, which complements our traditional subscriptions and benefits businesses of all sizes. For existing customers, Flex helps ensure they get the most out of Autodesk products, while also making it easier for them to explore new tools within our portfolio. New customers can now access our software at a lower cost without needing a long-term subscription.

Meeting Customers Where They Are

“It's hard to predict what a design team will need at the start of the year. Projects change, and so do requirements. Flex gives us the flexibility to adapt without committing to a big budget upfront.” – Donogh McGrath, Director of Information Security & Vendor Management

Our goal is to help customers achieve their best outcomes by offering solutions that fit their unique needs. We’ve long envisioned a flexible, pay-as-you-go model that works for everyone, especially after seeing success with our enterprise offerings. The shift to a named user model has given us valuable insights into how users engage with our products—showing us that not everyone needs daily access. That’s why Flex was created. It adds a new layer to our product lineup, working alongside subscriptions or standing on its own. It also makes it easier for new users to try our software without the burden of a full subscription.

Benefits of Flex and How It Works

Flex is designed to be simple and intuitive, much like other pay-as-you-go models. Users have control over their usage—whether setting individual preferences or using default settings for a hands-off experience. Just like with single-user subscriptions, Flex provides detailed insights into user activity and software usage. Flex allows customers to:
  1. Try new products easily
  2. Save costs with a per-use pricing model
  3. Boost productivity through faster procurement and less administrative work

Steps for using Flex.

What’s Next?

At Autodesk, we're always looking for ways to innovate and support our customers, whether they're small startups or large enterprises. Flex is just one example of how we're adapting to meet evolving needs. We believe it will become a valuable tool for both new and existing users, helping them create and build a better future.
