General Information
Autodesk is an American software corporation that designs applications for the engineering, architecture, manufacturing, construction, entertainment, and telecommunication industries. A wide range of Autodesk applications are available free of charge to those in the higher education community.
Note: There has been a recent change in Autodesk products and licensing resulting in changes to how it is distributed to the campus community. Instead of downloading Autodesk software from TigerWare, it will now be obtained directly from Autodesk's website. This version of Autodesk is free for Academic use only. If you are unsure if your use qualifies please refer to New Business Model for Educational Institutions FAQ.
- If your use does not fit within academic use (such as administrative / staff use / part of normal infrastructure & campus maintenance duties) then you will need to purchase an Autodesk license via the IT100 form. Please see the following link to fill out the request form: Software & Digital Resource Acquisition Request (IT100)
In order to gain access to your individually licensed Autodesk products, you must activate an online account on the Autodesk site. For help with this, please visit AutoDesk: How to Create an Autodesk Account.
