Protect your business from risk: prevent illegal Autodesk licences


17 February 2025

The use of Autodesk software plays a crucial role in the world of design, engineering and creativity. Unfortunately, illegal licenses are increasingly being offered by unauthorised parties, often at extremely low prices. These offers may seem attractive, but they come with significant risks for your business.

Why should you avoid illegal licenses?

Non-Authentic Licenses
Licenses that are offered well below the Recommended Retail Price (RP) or come from unauthorised resellers (VARs) are often non-genuine. This means that you won't have access to official Autodesk support, updates, and warranties, which may affect the performance and reliability of the software.

Risk of malware and ransomware
Pirated software can expose your network to serious threats such as malware and ransomware. These security risks can lead to data breaches, disruptions to business processes, and significant financial damage. Your digital security is at stake when you choose software from unreliable sources.

Legal consequences
Using inauthentic software can cause legal issues, including hefty fines and reputational damage. Compliance with software licenses is not only an ethical choice, but also essential for the continuity of your business.

Recognizing a Trustworthy License

  • Always purchase from an Autodesk Authorized Reseller (VAR).
  • Avoid offers that are significantly cheaper than the market price.
  • Verify the authenticity of the seller through Autodesk Genuine.
