``Autodesk transitioned to a subscription-based model several years ago, which changed how SKUs are handled. Instead of thousands of static part numbers for physical boxes, SKUs are now primarily categorized by term length (Monthly, 1-Year, 3-Year) and offering type (Single-user vs. Flex).

The following list reflects the primary commercial SKUs for the 2025 and 2026 release cycles.

1. AutoCAD (Includes Specialized Toolsets)

This is the standard "One AutoCAD" subscription. It includes the specialized toolsets for Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, MEP, Plant 3D, Map 3D, and Raster Design.

Version / Term	SKU (Base Pattern)	Description
1-Year Subscription	C1RK1-WW1243-L641	Annual subscription for 1 user
3-Year Subscription	C1RK1-WW5117-L731	Multi-year discounted subscription
Monthly Subscription	C1RK1-WW7891-L321	Month-to-month flexibility
AutoCAD Flex	001K1-00-8356	Pay-as-you-go tokens (Daily rate)

2. AutoCAD LT (Lightweight)

AutoCAD LT is the 2D-only version. It does not include 3D modeling or the specialized toolsets.

Version / Term	SKU (Base Pattern)	Description
1-Year Subscription	057K1-WW7053-L131	2D drafting for 1 year
3-Year Subscription	057K1-WW4618-L968	2D drafting for 3 years
AutoCAD LT for Mac	827K1-WW4019-L552	Native macOS version (1-Year)

3. Industry Collections

Many users acquire AutoCAD via the AEC Collection, which is often more cost-effective for firms needing Revit or Civil 3D alongside AutoCAD.

Collection	SKU (Base Pattern)	Included Key Products
AEC Collection (1-Year)	02HI1-WW1254-L189	AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks
Product Design (1-Year)	00RI1-WW5252-L425	AutoCAD, Inventor, Fusion 360

4. Educational & Specialized SKUs

Education (EDU): These do not typically have a commercial SKU for purchase but are identified by the suffix -E001 in administrative portals.
Government (GOV): SKUs for government entities often replace the "WW" (Worldwide) or "L" codes with specific contract identifiers (e.g., GSA schedules).

How to Identify Your Specific SKU

If you are looking at an invoice or an Autodesk Account portal, the SKU follows a specific logic:

First 5 Characters: The Product Code (e.g., C1R for AutoCAD).
Middle Segment: The Region and Version Year.
Final Segment: The Term (e.g., L1 for 1-year, L3 for 3-year).

Note: Because Autodesk frequently updates pricing and promotional codes, these "Base Pattern" SKUs may shift slightly by one or two digits depending on your specific reseller or if a "Promo SKU" is applied during checkout.
