The Single-user license has also been renamed the Standard license. Autodesk offers the Premium and Enterprise licenses for this exact purpose. Nonetheless, customers looking to purchase a license that can support multiple users are still covered. Moving forward, the subscription will be assigned to named users through the admins’ Autodesk accounts. Additionally, Autodesk retired the earlier subscription concept in which licenses were based on serial numbers. The company plans to retire these licenses on February 7, 2023, meaning they cannot be renewed after this date. This is no longer the case because, starting August 7, 2022, Autodesk stopped selling new subscription licenses with multi-user access.

This license was perfect for teams of users as Revit could be installed on as many devices as possible. On the other hand, a multi-user access subscription allowed multiple users on a single local area network (LAN) or a virtual private network (VPN) to have joint access to a single Revit network license. With single-user licenses, a single user could install and use Revit in up to three devices, while organizations whose employees exceeded three had to purchase additional licenses. Previously, there were two major subscriptions licensing options for Revit: Single-user (Standalone license) and Multi-user (Network license). Since then, Autodesk has made a few additional changes to the subscription licenses. While monthly subscriptions are best suited for project-based work or short-term projects, annual and 3-year options are cost-effective long-term options. The product is available in monthly, annual, and 3-year period subscriptions. Revit is available in both short-term and long-term options. On January 31st, 2016, Autodesk stopped selling perpetual licenses for all their software packages and switched to subscription licenses.
