Upgrade and crossgrade—In an upgrade, a customer pays an incremental fee at currently available prices
toward the purchase of a new version of the same product; the license to the previous version of the product is
terminated. In a crossgrade, a customer pays an incremental fee at currently available prices toward the purchase
of a different product; the license to the previous product is terminated.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we will provide new classifications of our product revenue
results. The following are the categories that we will report—“Flagship,” “Suites,” and “New and Adjacent.” We
will no longer report revenue metrics on model-based design, horizontal, or vertical products.
Flagship—Autodesk Flagship products are our core standalone horizontal, vertical and model-based design
products. Flagship includes the following products: 3ds Max, AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, AutoCAD vertical
products, Civil 3D, Inventor products (standalone), Maya, Plant 3D and Revit products (standalone).
Suites—Autodesk design Suites are a combination of products that target a specific user objective (product
design, building design, etc.) and support a set of workflows for that objective. Suites include the following
products classes: AutoCAD Design Suites, Educational/Academic Suites, Entertainment Creation Suites, Factory
Design Suites, Inventor Family Suites, Plant Design Suites and Revit Family Suites.
New and Adjacent—Autodesk New and Adjacent products include Autodesk’s new product offerings as
well as products that are not included in Flagship or Suites. New and Adjacent includes the following services
and products: Algor products, Alias Design products, Autodesk Consulting, Buzzsaw, Constructware, Consumer
products, Creative Finishing products, Moldflow products, Navisworks, Vault products and all other products.
