The decision by Autodesk to prohibit the use of its software in Russia, including AutoCAD, comes in response to the new package of sanctions from the European Union and affects both corporate users and consumers of pirated versions in Russia, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Autodesk has prohibited the use of its software in Russia

In the field of construction design, Autodesk products accounted for up to 90% of the market share in Russia, while in mechanical engineering, it was less than half.

The sanctions have also impacted cloud services for major IT corporations, complicating the transition to alternative solutions in the long term.
