With the coronavirus (COVID-19) affecting communities, families, and people around the world, this is a difficult time for all of us. Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected, directly or indirectly. At A<\/span>utodesk, our priority remains the health and wellbeing of our employees, customers, and partners.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the health and safety of the Autodesk community, we are also working to ensure our customers have reliable access to their software and Autodesk support. To that end, Autodesk is closely monitoring the guidance provided by governments and health organizations so we can make informed decisions with our entire community in mind.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our goal is to respond quickly and compassionately, while balancing the needs of all the constituencies in our community. We are taking several precautionary measures to minimize the potential impact of coronavirus to our communities and our business.<\/span>\u00a0As we\u00a0<\/span>have updates to share on how we\u2019re supporting customers, employe<\/span>es and communities impacted by COVID-1<\/span>9, expect us to share them here.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Autodesk Offers Free & Extended Access to Cloud Collaboration Products (Updated June 22)\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Autodesk keeps a close eye on the impact the coronavirus (COVID-19) is having on our industry, we\u2019re continuing to explore the best ways we can support our customers, flex to meet their changing needs, and minimize disruptions to their business during this challenging time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the biggest challenges we\u2019ve been hearing about from customers \u2013 and we\u2019re facing this challenge at Autodesk ourselves \u2013 involves adapting to work in an environment that has become the new normal: more teams and more people working remotely or from home, creating an increased need to collaborate and stay connected.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To better support customers facing this new reality, Autodesk announced a temporary\u00a0<\/span>Extended Access Program for several of our flagship cloud collaboration products<\/span><\/b><\/a>. Let me be clear: we\u2019re not introducing this program to convert customers into paying users. Our goal, instead, is to get a program up and running as quickly as possible to provide customers increased flexibility in what\u2019s become a challenging work environment. Here\u2019s how the program will work:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
