Subscription Center Update

While sitting with David Blanchette he made mention of a few changes that are coming for the Subscription center. Lately, some clients have been complaining about the "value" of being on the subscription that is required when purchasing any vertical product from Autodesk.

It appears that the ears up in Manchester have listened to the crys and are in the process of revamping the Subscription program.

Look for Updates to no longer be free to non-subscription holders. They will be available for download only through Subscription Center. That is one of the changes coming. More will be posted here when they aremade available.

On a personal preference note, I know that we are notified through the InfoCenter when new Updates are available, I would like to see perhaps an imbedded link to the Update that would allow for amore direct download. Perhas a widget similar to reloading an Xref or something along those lines. Provide an option for the user to add their Subscription Center login to their user profile so theey can be verified at Civil 3D/Civil startup. However, this may be a moot point when the new Subscription Center is brought online over the next week or two. We shall see what lays in store.
