## About

Autodesk's 3D software for modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering, used in film, television, and game production.

## Progress timeline

- 2026-09-07 — Escalated (Community Updates). Autodesk's client services replied that export controls, not the lifted sanctions programme, still govern software access, and said it had asked its Global Trade Compliance team to review the case rather than apply the general Syria restriction. Product and end use details were requested.
- 2026-06-02 — Escalated (Community Updates). Autodesk's student services team replied that the request was welcome news and had been escalated internally for resolution.
- 2026-06-01 — Contacted Company (Community Updates). A community volunteer wrote to Autodesk's student and education team requesting Syria be onboarded, citing the lifted U.S. and EU sanctions, and copied us on the message.
- 2026-03-30 — Contacted Company (Our Outreach). UnblockSyria formally wrote to Autodesk's compliance team, noting that the U.S. sanctions program on Syria had been dismantled, and asked that access be reviewed for individual end-users.
- 2026-03-11 — Contacted Company (Community Updates). A second community volunteer reported repeated contact with Autodesk and shared its compliance and export-control contact addresses for further outreach.
- 2026-03-04 — Company Responded (Community Updates). Autodesk's support team replied that it is internally evaluating product availability for users in Syria, per a screenshot the volunteer shared with us.
- 2026-03-04 — Contacted Company (Community Updates). A community volunteer contacted Autodesk directly to ask about restoring access for users in Syria.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
