KevinF Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I am trying to source five seats for my Theatre. Because we are a city-owned building, the subscription service is a hard no. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Will your city allow you to buy used? Because as far as I know, the only way to get new licenses now is Subscription. So if you want a permanent license you will have to buy used and there will be no upgrade path for the future. Sorry. Quote Link to comment

I'm exploring two avenues. Either this path or buying new then parking the license. Totally misunderstood apparently. Edited June 17, 2023 by KevinF Quote Link to comment

Governments at all levels don’t seem to have a problem paying Autodesk or ESRI subscriptions. These software companies are effectively extortion ring when they can change government policy to their advantage. Quote Link to comment

We are a small town with a performing arts venue. The money flowing through the infrastructure departments is much bigger than ours. Quote Link to comment
