Autodesk has stopped shipping DVDs for new seats and upgrades. You will no longer receive anything directly from Hydratec when you buy these, unless we need to send you a DVD of our software as part of the order. Instead, you will receive a download link.
From the Synergis Cad Blog
Recently, Autodesk announced a “greener” method to deliver software.
Soon, electronic delivery will be the standard method by which you will
receive your upgrades to the most efficient workflows and features.
Whether purchasing a new license or getting the newer versions through
your Autodesk Subscription Contract, your automatic delivery method will
be via Electronic License Delivery.
If you purchase new products, you have a transition period (December 3
– March 15, 2013), in which you will continue to have the choice of
ordering a serialized box offered today, or an ELD license with an
additional optional un-serialized (physical copy) media kit. After this
transition period, customers will receive a notification email from
Autodesk with the information needed to download.
If you are currently on Autodesk Subscription, Autodesk will notify you when a new release is out via a notification email.
Autodesk’s Notification Email
Whether you are a Subscription Customer or not, Autodesk will send a
notification email when you have upgrades or products available for
download. Please keep this email for your records, it will contain:
- Serial Number(s)
- Links to access the Software Media
- A consolidated license certificate as an PDF attachment
Still need physical media?
You can still receive physical media (delivered via a default method
of USB, CD or DVD), however you will need to make the request after you
receive Autodesk’s Notification Email that a new download is available.
You can find instructions on requesting the download on How to Request Product Media on the Autodesk Subscription Center if
you are a Subscription Customer.
