Getting the Software The contract manager will be receiving an e-mail from Autodesk with a link to download the software.In most cases you will not receive any tangible property as a result of this transaction (e.g. disks, updates in tangible form, training manuals, etc.). If, at a later date, you elect to receive a tangible copy of software purchased (e.g. disks, CDs, etc.), you may be liable to pay applicable sales/use taxes.
