So, in today's inbox: 'With our move to subscription, one thing has become clear to us—managing two business models (subscriptions and maintenance plans) is quite costly. To continue supporting maintenance, beginning May 7, 2017, renewal prices will increase by 5% in 2017, 10% in 2018, and 20% in 2019. Also, you should be aware that maintenance plans can now only be renewed for one year at a time.

Now that we’ve shared the direction we’re heading, we’d like to talk to you about a special offer to help you join us on the path toward subscription—one that recognizes your loyalty and the value of your previous investments.' This is the sort of thing I have come to expect from AD, and does break my previously stated hope. I find that the 'cost' associated with maintaining two business models is **so** disingenuous. The difference between non-permanent and permanent licenses in software is next to nothing. The delivery mechanism is the same, minor difference in the license lookup rate.

Otherwise, it's just a billing mechanism that I can't see requiring anything more than a few electrons now and again. The only thing I can see is that it leaves irritating free range licenses that can live without being connected to the hive mind. It's obviously an attempt yank permanent licenses away from those of us that have a decade's old suspicion of the behemoth that is Autodesk, and be able to have more granular control over its users and cash conveyor. Now I understand that AD has offered 'discounted' rates to offset these 'necessary' cost increases. It's a cost curve opposite stated above, because, hey, doesn't that look great! Save for the fact there is no guarantee that those prices will hold thereafter. Vmware vsphere client for mac.

Long thinking, but devious at best. Because, after all, once we're all on subscription, we're hostage to whatever cost increases you might want to inflict. And I have little doubt that after 2019, there will be an effort to just pull the plug on permanent licenses regardless. I'm undecided as to how I'll roll on this, and just as I was about to decide on getting Fusion or Inventor. Business is business, those damned customers just interfere with profits.

No problem at all. 'Beginning June 2017, you’ll be able to move your products on a maintenance plan to a subscription for up to 60% less than the cost of a new subscription. This discount will decrease by 5% in 2018 and another 5% in 2019, so the earlier you switch to a subscription, the less it will cost—and the more you’ll save compared to those who wait to move, or choose to stay on maintenance. When you make the switch, you’ll also be able to lock in your discounted price for up to three years and continue to receive discounted pricing for as long as you renew.' Note, I don't believe the 'discounted pricing as long as you renew'. Would have to see the legalese with a lawyer to know if there are loopholes hidden.
