As I have seen of late AutoDesk and SolidEdge are now offereing a "PAY AS YOU GO" option to induviuals and companies.

if you think about it how awesome is that, easier to pay small bits than a large chunk of \\\$\\\$ up front and .................. "EVERYONE ONE WOULD BE ON THE SAME SP!!"

jmo

Edge at \\\$350\\month for the same as SW's Premium 8K+ = abour \\\$4200 and you can either auto pay or just buy a month with no renewal
