Activity Summary

Blocked in Syria. Parent company Autodesk has been asked repeatedly since March 2026, and in September it referred the case to its Global Trade Compliance team for review.

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.
