Hi John: It is still an effective tripling or quadrupling of the cost.
I purchased a "non profit" license several years ago for $129. "Non commercial, 4 layers, up to 160 sq cm., all functionality enabled." They converted this to a "standard" license over time. A license was good for the life of a major version, such as 5 or 6. When 7 came out, I had to buy a new license for 7, but it was at the existing customer upgrade price, which was $69. So $129 initially, then $69 every two or three years or so, as new major versions came out. Now they want $100 per year. --- Graham On Mon, Jan 23, 2017 at 4:14 PM, John Ackermann N8UR <j...@febo.com> wrote: > Autodesk just sent a follow-up to my "new price model unacceptable" > complaint a few days ago.
