Some projects are not finished yet and we can’t upgrade until all the work is done.Network licenses are available for all AGACAD products. Personally, I don’t want to use an unsupported version, but sometimes it happens. If you trade the license for a new subscription, then you lose access and only can use the latest version + 3 version back. For example, if you purchased Revit 2016 and keep renewing your subscription then you have access from Revit 2016 to the latest version. Previously, trading the license means the customer lose their access to their previously own versions. I believe Autodesk made this change to encourage their customer to trade in their old license for a new subscription.

However, it’s still a good thing if you need to use an older version for a limited time until you can upgrade to the latest version. If it doesn’t run properly because of a new Windows update or a new graphics card driver, then nothing you can do about it. And it’s not eligible for Autodesk support. It means now you can use Revit 2016, but there will be no more updates, hotfix, or service packs. However, Autodesk still only support 3 versions back.

Of course, for subscription and maintenance plan customers only. Today Autodesk announced that they are expanding the previous version access to Autodesk software.
