Hi! Just wanted to post this so anyone else that ever comes into this situation can cover themselves. Because of the Recession here in Western Canada a lot of companies including myself have suffered imensse financial strains. I was not able to come up the the $2200.00 to renew my subscription. I tried desparately to figure a way to borrow but no luck. Now I am stuck with my 2015 seat which is the worst version of Autocad that I have ever used. Extremely buggy, slow and crashing. I have tried repairing checking graphics compatability but no change. All of my purchased add-on software is on my previous ver of 2014. I have spent close to $20,000.00 buying and maintaning my subscription for meany years now.
After talking with Autodesk they have told me that I will never be able to use any other version of my software again and that I have to deal with this buggy version! I am shocked beyond words and have lost all respect for Autodesk. It seems criminal that they could get away with something like this. Thankfully my Solidworks company has given me time to come up with the money for subscription and actually knocking off $1000.00 for the year to help me because of these difficult times. So if anyone else out there is considering reliquishing there perpetual licencse please be aware!
Sincerely!
