A Brief Overview of the Autodesk Education License Program at Iowa State University

Autodesk Education Master Suite, published by Autodesk, Inc., is a modular software package used extensively in the design and engineering industries. Through the Autodesk Education Master Suite agreement ISU has access to a variety of Autodesk software at highly reduced pricing.

Not all Autodesk software titles are available under the ADI agreement. Some software titles must be licensed separately at additional costs.

Here are the available titles in both 32 and 64-bit:

This software contract is funded year-to-year by collecting a "per seat" use fee. The cost per seat for FY11 is $65. Distribution of the software is limited to paying departments. Installation is limited to computer labs, classrooms and offices (institution owned machines) at the Ames campus and ISU Extension county offices. Installation on student-owned machines is NOT allowed under the Autodesk Education Master Suite 2011 agreement. Student use of Autodesk software is covered under separate license contracts.

Access to this software distribution site is restricted to authenticated ISU users who have been added to the appropriate access list. You will be asked to provide a valid account number for billing purposes, a Net-ID, and campus IP address(es) before you are allowed to access the Autodesk software.
