Hello!  
Remember this news? [http://fabacademy.org/resources/autodesk/](http://fabacademy.org/resources/autodesk/)  
One year ago, I have registered in Autodesk our fab lab.  
Autodesk gave me license for a year, their manager wrote me - after one year email us and we will extend the license again.  
And now, one year ago, I have letter  
"We apologize for the inconvenience, please note that this is an executive order and we won’t be able to renew this contract."  
I cry.

Makes sense. They did what they promised. Are you looking for alternatives or do you now have vendor lock-in with autodesk?

I am currently investing time and money with FLOSS solutions.
