What does the new Autodesk buying process mean for you?

We have gathered all you need to know on this page to ensure you get a smooth experience.

New process when buying Autodesk products

Effective from 16 September 2024, there will be changes to how you purchase and renew your Autodesk products.

  • In this new buying process, the transaction and payments for purchases and renewals will happen directly between you as a customer and Autodesk.
  • Everything before and after will remain unchanged.
  • As an Autodesk Platinum Partner, we will continue to support you when you purchase and renew your Autodesk subscriptions as well as offering our support services, training courses, specialised expertise, consultancy, our own digital solutions and other software.

Blackout Period

Please note that due to the transition to the new shopping experience and necessary system integrations, there will be a blackout period in week 37 during which orders cannot be processed.

Please consider whether you require additional subscriptions or seats during the blackout period and place these orders by 6 September at 12:00 noon. Orders received after this deadline will be handled through the new Autodesk purchase process starting September 16.

What will change?

From now on, your final quotes and invoices invoices related to Autodesk products will come directly from Autodesk via email. If you are an Autodesk Flex customer, you may recognize the process as it is the same.

What will not change is that NTI Diatec will still send you quotes and discuss your needs

How can you prepare?

Ensure you are prepared to receive and pay invoices from Autodesk instead of NTI Diatec. 

If your company has a procurement team, they might require you to set Autodesk as a vendor before they can handle invoices from Autodesk. You can set up Autodesk as a vendor from this page. If invoices are not paid on time, you may risk losing access to your Autodesk software. 

Below, you can find some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, you are as always welcome to reach out to your NTI Diatec contact person.
