I'm not adverse to paying for software, but the delta between free and $310 a year is more than I can justify.įor that reason I'd really like some clarifications of these apparently conflicting statements before I invest the time and energy into Fusion 360. Free Fusion 360 for Startups Fusion 360 Autodesk Push the limits with an integrated CAD, CAM, and CAE solution. Investing the time in learning a CAD system is significant, and I have other - albeit less powerful - options that would be far less expensive in the long run for the casual user like myself. I might sell a thing or two but I'd be shocked if my annual sales topped $500.


This says nothing about being able to renew the trial. You can use this license if you are a small business making less than $100,000 per year (or equivalent), or if you're a hobbyist using Fusion 360 for non-commercial purposes. The free Start-Up/ Enthusiast licenses allow you to access Fusion 360 with a yearly subscription after the trial period has ended.Is this still true? The current licencing page states: In December of 2016 kegingsong posted that Hobby/enthusiast licences were perpetually renewable - see post copied below.
