Frequently Asked Questions

No, at this time subscriptions do not automatically renew. 

Cloud Credits expire 12 months after the date of purchase.

No, not at this time.

No, you may only register for Autodesk Platform Services once under one account. However, you can create as many apps as you like from that account. 

For all premium APIs, fractional Cloud Credit charges are accrued, and only deducted from your account (in integer amounts) when a full CPU hour has been consumed. For example, the Design Automation API is priced at 2 Cloud Credits per processing hour (1 Cloud Credit per 30 processing minutes). If you run a WorkItem that consumes 15 minutes of processing time, you will see no cloud credit charge. If you run another WorkItem that consumes 15 minutes of processing time, you will see the charge of 1 Cloud Credit on your account (15 min. + 15 min. = 30 min. = 1 Cloud Credit). 

At the moment, we do not offer special pricing for students and startups. We recommend you sign up for a free trial if you want to experiment with Forge. 

Please contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss adding Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge) to your TokenFlex account. Autodesk Platform Services will consume Tokens at a rate of one token equals one Cloud Credit.
