You were advised to buy more to cover future needs if you liked perpetual. Remember well the push by Autodesk to sell more perpetual seats to users before they cut them off. Today as is pretty typical Artcam has more readers than brand A’s stuff. There is an Artcam subheading and then an Autodesk one with HSM Inventor Cam and Fusion360 all in one. In a world where hard data is impossible to come by one looks for indicators as to what is going on. CNC Zone is a group of machining related forums and is an indicator of market use and interest in various software.

Now you were wise enough not to fall for the subs idea weren’t you? Well let us hope so because in ways that can’t be denied anymore Autodesk has shown with Artcam what they think of you. It is one where whatever treachery or Anagnost anti-customer stupidity vomiting forth from them has no effect on your life anymore. When you are no longer a customer of Autodesk you tend to live in your own little secure perpetual license world. I went there Saturday to catch up since it has been a while. First off I want to thank Blog Nauseam for keeping me updated on Autodesk happenings.
