They say the past lives only in our memories. They say the future lives only in our plans. The present is our only reality; however, they also say that those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it. Those who fail to plan plan to fail. So with these platitudes in mind, I remind you now of the following future expiration dates for Autodesk Labs technologies and utilities.

So if you want to experiment with these technologies and utilities that do have expiration dates, in reality, the time is now. Letting users know what time it is in terms of expiration dates, much like the label on a container of yogurt, is alive in the lab.
