Can I use my existing AutoCAD license on an iPad Pro

1. AutoCAD Mobile App: The AutoCAD app for iPad, often referred to as AutoCAD 360 or simply AutoCAD, allows users to create, view, edit, and share DWG files. However, it is not equivalent to the full desktop version of AutoCAD. It supports features like sketching with the Apple Pencil and offers tools for basic drawing and editing tasks[1][2].

2. License Compatibility: Your existing AutoCAD license is typically for the desktop version, which is not directly compatible with the iPad app. The desktop license is tied to a specific operating system (Windows or macOS), and the iPad app is a separate product designed for mobile use[4][6].

3. Subscription and Access: If you have an AutoCAD subscription, it includes access to the AutoCAD web and mobile apps. This means you can use the AutoCAD mobile app on your iPad as part of your subscription, but it will not be the full desktop version[6].

4. iPad Pro vs. Desktop: The iPad Pro can be a good choice for using AutoCAD mobile due to its larger screen and better performance compared to other iPads. However, for complex projects requiring the full functionality of AutoCAD, a desktop or laptop remains the preferred choice[2][10].

In summary, while you can use AutoCAD on an iPad Pro, it will be the mobile version, which is not a direct substitute for the desktop version. If you need the full capabilities of AutoCAD, sticking with a desktop or laptop is recommended. However, if you have an AutoCAD subscription, you can access the mobile app as part of your subscription benefits.
