This Home Use right is only valid for as long as the software in question is under subscription, and is valid only for the number of licenses covered by your subscription contract.

Autodesk e-Learning
e-Learning features self-paced, interactive lessons for some Autodesk products. Every registered member of the Subscription Centre has access to the e-Learning facility that is available under their contact terms. Each lesson is 15-20 minutes in length. Lessons are organised in product catalogues. Each catalogue contains 15-20 lessons and new lessons are added periodically. The lessons feature hands-on exercises, with an option to utilise a simulation instead of the software application. Users also have the ability to take a pre-test to identify skills gaps. A post-test can help users gauge their progress. |
