Autodesk Resources for Students and Educators
Platforms
Windows
Autodesk provides free access to its products for students, educators, and educational institutions.
The educational licenses for students and educators include a watermark to ensure the software is used solely for personal learning, teaching, or training, and not for commercial or for-profit work. For detailed information on licensing terms, please refer to the Autodesk Terms of Use. If you have any questions regarding the educational or research license, feel free to contact the Autodesk support team.
Get Access
Autodesk Single Sign-On (SSO) has recently been implemented to support the latest product releases on the ITS Education lab computers. You can also download and install Autodesk products on your personal device.
Sign in to Autodesk.com using your @ucsd.edu email address.
Once your account is verified on the licensing portal, it may take up to 48 hours to access the products.
This delay is due to the lack of automation in the Autodesk licensing portal.
It is important for students taking courses that utilize Autodesk products to sign in and verify their accounts at the beginning of the quarter. Waiting until the project due date can lead to delays. For instance, if you verify your account on a Friday, you won't be able to access the products until the following Monday. Make sure to complete this step early to avoid any disruptions in your coursework.
