Sorry if this isn't the appropriate forum, but I couldn't find a licensing forum....
Several years ago, the company that I work for upgraded from Land Desktop 2002 to Land Desktop 2004. Some months later, although we're not exactly sure when, either Autodesk or our dealer automatically "bumped" us to Civil 3D. Since this isn't something that we necessarily elected to do, we never renewed the C3D subscription - primarily because Civil 3D wasn't a usuable product back then. Now that we're ready to upgrade again (and voluntarily subscribe), we're being charged back subscription charges instead of the normal upgrade charges. For just a handful of licenses, the back subscription charges are adding several thousand dollars to our upgrade bill. Needless to say, that makes it a tougher sell to management.
Did anyone else out there have this happen to you?
