Important Information: Action may be required Change in Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suites Migration Policy

Autodesk recently sent subscription customers information regarding the automatic AutoCAD® Civil 3D® and AutoCAD® Map 3D upgrade offer to Autodesk® Infrastructure Design Suite 2014 Premium and Standard.  Ideate wants to make you aware of a change to the program. Based on your feedback Autodesk has decided to withdraw the offer to upgrade you automatically to Infrastructure Design Suite Premium or Standard and instead provide you with the option of choosing to upgrade. Autodesk still believes the Infrastructure Design Suite is the right solution for you but are changing the automatic upgrade offer in order to allow you the freedom to choose and make the best decision for your business.

You Decide

If you already opted out on the previous communication Autodesk sent you, no further action is required.

If you are an AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 customer on Autodesk Subscription Autodesk is offering you the opportunity to upgrade to Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2014 Premium at no cost between now and July 15th 2013. This is a change from the previously communicated program and your access to Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite will no longer be available unless you opt in by July 15th 2013. Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Premium is a comprehensive BIM for Infrastructure software solution that provides intelligent model-based tools to help you gain more accurate and actionable insight throughout the lifecycle of your infrastructure project with access to desktop and cloud solutions.

If you are an AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 customer on Autodesk Subscription Autodesk is offering you the opportunity to upgrade to Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2014 Standard at no cost between now and July 15th 2013. This is a change from the previously communicated program and your access to Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite will no longer be available unless you opt in by July 15th 2013. Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Standard offers foundational planning, design and coordination capabilities both on the desktop and in the cloud.

If you do not take action by July 15th 2013, you will automatically be opted out and will receive the 2014 version of AutoCAD Civil 3D or AutoCAD Map 3D and current subscription entitlements for which you are eligible.
