    If you’re an individual artist or small studio rendering on a local network of workstations, your best option is to get a monthly, annual, or 3-year single-user subscription from the Autodesk e-store. Upon subscribing to Arnold, you’ll be prompted to create an Autodesk Account where you can access your subscription. If you’re using Arnold on a render farm and require multi-user licenses, you can purchase annual and 3-year multi-user subscriptions from an authorized reseller. Arnold is also available for pay-per-use on the following cloud rendering platforms: AWS Thinkbox Marketplace, Microsoft Azure, Zync Render on Google Cloud Platform, and Conductor Technologies.

  • What do you mean by single user?

    With a single-user subscription, it’s now possible to simply sign in to your Autodesk Account to access and start using Arnold. Single-user subscriptions require the Autodesk license to be assigned to a single named user. Whereas multi-user access allows licenses to be shared across multiple workstations using a network license server, a single-user license can only be used by the named user. With single-user access, you need to connect to the Internet every 30 days and sign in to the software so Autodesk can verify that the subscription is still current as well as keep the software up to date. There’s an in-product reminder 3 days prior to having to reconnect.
