I purchased a perpetual license for ********************** building suite ultimate2013 and have had this program for 12yrs. Now i get a notice i cant use my program because the license expired. This is a non expiring license software program. ********* uses the excuse its not supported anymore as an attempt to expire my license. I am not asking for support. Like every other software perpetual license there is no expiration of the sofware as long as the operating system is compatible. I asked autodesk to fix this issue and they told me i need to upgrade to a revolving paid license of thousands of dollars. Because 2013 this is not supported, if they didnt support the software to actively expire the license then this program would still be working. They actively support it to cancel and perpetual license to force an upgrade to a subscription for thousands of dollars. Thats unacceptable and should be addressed and a remedy be done to address thisBusiness Response

New case number 24229074 created to contact customer and assist with previous version activation.
The software you are trying to activate is not eligible for use under the Previous Version Rights benefit. Autodesk no longer supports versions 2016 and earlier which includes activation. The reason for this change is the code generators for these versions were built on aging technology, some of which are no longer supported by the vendors who built them.
We highly encourage you to purchase a subscription of Autodesk software, to keep your license up to date and keep benefiting from our support.

April 7, 2025 Live Chat was not working so I called *************, **: ***************. The lady in another country all she said 100 times is HELLO. I called back and got a gentlemen in another country that did not understand nor speak English. I then tried chat again and the chat bot said I need to contact support for help. Then CHAT stopped working again. My subscription says Fusion Legacy 2024 -I am trying to find out what software will be taking the place and the cost before my October renewal. I am doing this early to find out if I need to be looking for new software due to the lack of USA ENGLISH speaking support, despite the CA phone number.Business Response

1. I cannot find a telephone number to cancel a subscription that I do not have that lets me talk to a real person not just tell me to go online. 2. The automated computer helper tries to get me to sign on to an account I do not have. 3. I do not have this product, I do not want this product. I really do not want to pay for this product that I do not have or want. I tried to contact them and they ask for a credit card for a consultant fee.Initial Complaint

Hello ***** (and BBB Team)
I've passed along your concerns submitted here to the appropriate team within Autodesk, and they let me know they're working on reviewing the information you sent which can take some time. They don't always call right away, but the best path to confirm any details is to reply to the emails previously sent. I can also pass along any additional feedback.
Thank you
