What The In-Crowd Won't Inform You Of Bim 360 License Cost

The Bim 360 License Cost HideYet another reason is that Autodesk controls licensing. You could keep hanging on to it but all they have to do is say it’s no longer a valid product…it’s ends of life. And your only option is to buy a full new subscription of this new β€œNavis Quantum” product (I just made that up….just like they can) that replaces it. If you’re trying to migrate users from AutoCAD to Revit, or implement other product roll outs, analytics are important to gauge adoption. I don’t want to pay an extra $30k a year just to remain license compliant, secure and informed about our users. And because there’s now a revenue stream behind it, perhaps Autodesk will finally give it the attention it’s long deserved. With all software being driven by only an Email address that doubles as an Autodesk ID any user can freely download and install the software at home or on a friends system. As long as they’re employed and have a license, IT compliance will be non-existent. With a company directive to double in revenue, migrating users from AutoCAD/CADmep to Revit Fabrication Parts and rolling out Collaboration for Revit, my forecast was within %0.1 over the next two years. As part of a TokenFlex engagement, you run their licenses for a trial period to gauge usage so you can forecast your purchase for 3 years. Autodesk’s abysmal analysis was simply add 5 of each license over 3 years. Didn’t matter if it was 150 seats of Revit or 1 seat of 3ds Max. Perhaps the real lost value in all of this in construction is the reduction of software access to users. My last employer signed one of those $3.5M/3-Year Enterprise Tokenflex deals. There’s a lot of reasons Autodesk might want β€œUser” based licenses. But they’ve never streamlined anything and made it cost less. Instead the complicate things. Then charge more to β€œsimplify” them. Today at work, my BIM360 Docs account says I’m using 110 of 30 licenses. Just broken licensing and poor implementation of reporting of a confusing and inconsistent license structure.
