Updating license system from 2021
From June 2021, A>V>C> plugins are being transferred to the new licensing system. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by the transition period.
Canceled
There are no more shareware programs. Programs that previously could be used by looking at the activation window from time to time have now become paid.
Perpetual free updates canceled.
There are no "On Domain" licenses for companes. Now each workplace requires a license and activation. It is advisable to create accounts for each employee.
You can no longer use free programs without activation. There are several completely free programs left, but each of them needs to be activated annually.
Old versions of plugins stay with you, but the old key generator is destroyed. Transferring old activations is not possible.
Innovations
A licensing system is being introduced with a one-year term limit or a term limit for free updates. A full description of the new licenses is here.
New prices for new licenses here. Basically, the price of the old activation has become the price of an annual license. But the collections did not rise so much.
A bonus system has appeared, which will allow you to quickly debug programs and will stimulate the popularization of A>V>C> plugins. Active users will be able to renew their licenses for free.
New online activation system. You no longer need to send request codes.
A>V>C> database has been created and plugins now work in constant communication with it. So far, this is only used to control licensing and for auto-updates. But in the future, catalogs of blocks, materials and other delights of collaboration are planned.
A system of automatic plugin updates has been created. Moreover, you can "downdate" to the old version. And you can turn off updates.
The terms of use of the programs and legal libility have changed.
Balm for wounds
Old plugin users will undoubtedly be offended. But I sweetened the pill a little:
You can use the old version as long as you like. It will be available in the Autodesk Store for at least another month. Until your computer breaks down, everything will be as before. But new keys for the old version are no longer provided, activation transfer is not possible, activation of new users is not possible.
All old users received a one-year license for their plugins until June 2022. You can update to the new version right now. It's free for you.
Everyone who had the AVC_Kit got the AVC_Pro license.
The most important thing: I fully return all your donations to you without a trace !! Not money, but bonuses. You already have enough funds on your accounts to buy one or two more annual subscriptions for 2023 and 2024. The main thing is to enter the same e-mail that was on my list as a donation sender during registration.
If you do not see the license and the account balance is zero, then you entered the wrong e-mail. Some users donated from different e-mails and now we need to combine several accounts. Write to me - we'll figure it out.
