Important license information

To get a start-up or educational license, download and install Fusion 360 from the Autodesk website or the Autodesk education website.

• The free start-up/enthusiast licenses give you access to Fusion 360 with a yearly subscription after the trial period ends. Small businesses making less than $100,000 a year (or the equivalent) can use this license. You can also use it if you're a hobbyist using Fusion 360 for non-commercial purposes.

• Educational licenses come in two versions: individual licenses, and licenses for administrators in educational institutions (see the following sections). Educational institutions can also use group lab installation.

Note: Start-up or educational licenses aren't available through the Apple Store. If you installed Fusion 360 through the Apple Store, perform a clean uninstall of Fusion 360. Then reinstall directly from the Autodesk website or the Autodesk education website.
