Simply fill out your name, email, confirm your email, and then type out a password. Otherwise, after clicking the orange “Sign In” button, you’ll need to create a new Autodesk account. If you already have an Autodesk account from another Autodesk product, then you can go ahead and use that to sign in. The button will link you to the bottom of the page, where you’re then prompted to sign in with your Autodesk account. Upon arriving at the page, you’ll need to select the orange “Get Started Now” button. If you are making more than that, with your use of Fusion 360, then you’ll need to upgrade to a commercial use license.Īfter confirming that you do qualify, the first step will be to go to the Official Autodesk page for Fusion 360 for Personal Use, which I’ve linked to on this page. The most important qualification to note is that the Personal Use license only allows you to make up to $1,000 a year annually via the hobby or business that you’re using Fusion 360 for. I dunno, really.By the end of this short walkthrough, you’ll have Fusion 360 up and running with the free Personal Use license.įirst off, be sure to read the license qualifications that I’ve outlined on my webpage, where you’re watching this video. Seems like about all most people can really do right now is suck it up, pay the $300, and try and find something to migrate to over the next year. Alibre Design Professional is a $1000 perpetual license for all the same features, which seems doable, but it's at least the same amount again for CAM from say MecSoft or someone, which is. I hear a lot about BobCAD, I don't see any pricing on their site, though it looks like Google scraped it once and it's in the mid-four-figures. I think they're TRYING to make it so that people can't realistically arrange alternatives before the deadline, forcing them to buy at least a year of commercial single-user, maybe to juice the quarterly earnings report at a time when everyone's down on revenue because so many people have paused payments and they have that ludicrously inflated stock price to try and justify.Īdobe ended up creating Affinity with this type of behaviour, maybe something similar will happen here.

Yeah it's the lack of notice that's the real kick in the pants.
