  Monthly$  1 year$1,  2 year$2,  3 year$3,

 

Yeah, the student version is like $ and you can only buy it if you can prove you are a student, but if you are a student then you can just register with Autodesk and download it off the website for free. So if the licensing is the same then why do they offer to buy a student version?

 

It just doesn’t make any sense to me. Besides I don’t see how anyone trying to do freelance could afford the $4, price tag of a commercial version without first getting some work.

 

So is there really no way except dropping $4,?

So I guess my main question here is what is the difference between the download version and the paid for version, and can I use the paid for student version for freelance purposes? Or would I have to buy a full professional license to do freelance? Any and all information would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

As far as I know AutoCAD is to be replaced by BIM, maybe it's a good idea to start having a look at.

Thanks for the invitation. I have not used AutoCAD 2017 and I have not purchased it too. Roughly making a guess, I think it should be not less than $1000 and it is also provided in 1-year, 2-year subscription modes. For Students, it is free because back in 2011 I had downloaded AutoCAD 2012 for free using a student account.
