| Problem | Solution | |--------|----------| | "My free trial expired" | You likely selected the trial, not the personal license. Reinstall and choose Personal Use. | | "Autodesk asks for payment" | Go to your account portal → Billing & Orders → switch license type. | | "I need more CAM axes" | Consider the paid Standard version ($70/month or $545/year). | | "Export failed (cloud)" | Offline mode or local save first. | | "10 document limit reached" | Right-click old designs → Archive. They remain accessible but not editable until restored. | autodesk fusion 360 free
