Totally agree the pricing now is reasonable.as long as they keep it in the $600 range we currently pay and continue to receive the discounts we receive on additional licenses we have. The cost of the new features and the SSA Fee is quite reasonable IMO. Keep in mind if you don't have a current SSA plan they are giving you the opportunity to reinstate (purchase) your SSA - this may require additional funds if you're out a few years. The second scenario is more expensive and also does not allow you to use the software if the subscription isn't paid. The biggest takeaway from this would be that under the first scenario your license is yours to keep and continue to use even after your stop resubscribing to the SSA. I wonder if they will let us buy multiple years of SSA at today's price?īoth are essentially 'subscriptions', however. That's probably a good argument for keeping your SSA current. So the new system is less expensive at first but more expensive over time. This of course assumes that the prices won't change in the future (but I suspect they will since that is what prices do). 'Yes free upgrades you receive as part of your legacy license SSA will continue as a perpetual (permanent) license.' - So with this I would assume in 4 years having paid my SSA continuously for that time my new perpetual license (theoretically) would be version X18. I click on the FAQ link at the top and this is what I discovered: I would like to hear Chief's explanation about what version of the software one is actually going to own. This is exactly what happens with Softplan. You can no longer use Version 16 and can't open any projects created with it. You create a project in Version 16 (you own Version 14) and decide that you no longer need the SSA updates. However you don't own the new version and if you quit the SSA, you only have rights to your original version. With Softplan, if you own a version and pay their version of the SSA, you get the updates as they come out. I left Revit exactly due to the implementation of the subscription model. This does nothing for the user and only benefits Chief. I think this is a terrible change from Chief.
