I just the email too. I’m emailing my reseller for clarification, but my understanding is it’s Adobe CC style licensing. No more floating license server, no more Flame Premium. You need a [John.Doe@company.com](mailto:John.Doe@company.com) sign in for each license. Also sounds pretty hard to keep compliant with TPN when you need to open connections to: [stats.g.doubleclick.net](http://stats.g.doubleclick.net) [www.googletagmanager.com](http://www.googletagmanager.com) [www.google-analytics.com](http://www.google-analytics.com) [https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/What-URLs-protocols-should-be-accessible-for-Desktop-Subscription-to-work-html.html?st=what%20urls/protocols%20should%20be%20allowed](https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/What-URLs-protocols-should-be-accessible-for-Desktop-Subscription-to-work-html.html) ---

Nothing like having to wildcard half the internet just to get a license. \*.akamaiedge.net ---

Yea, I don’t get it at all. Nothing makes sense. I reached out to my reseller and they sent me back a bunch of nonsense that was just more confusing. Hopefully it’s not gibberish for “we’re raising costs on everyone”. ---

My understanding is everybody gets a username and a password. ---

Along with a price increase it would seem. In my case going from maintenance to subscription will be a pretty dramatic price increase. About 6 times more. So I have some doubts when they say the future prices will be consistent with what I pay now. ---

But you’ll get three for one and you only have to pay for the one you currently have…plus the other two you’re getting.
